The 2nd Annual Pig Liberation Party is officially dedicated to the late Hannah. We started Pig Liberation last year after the Caldwell rescue of 133 pigs who were being bred as pets or food, and were found in disgusting, neglected, disease-ridden conditions. Hannah was our warrior - neurologically damaged from bad breeding and trauma, who regained her ability to walk and run, until a stroke put her in a wheelchair, and renal failure claimed her life. She represents the strength and resilience of pigs everywhere - pigs who learned to trust again despite abuse, pigs who are discarded and devalued for being too small or sick, pigs who deserve to be liberated and loved because of the willful, complex soul behind their eyes.

We believe in liberation for the big and small, the victims of breeding, the food industry, and testing. We believe in each of us, together, making a difference for the pigs and animals of the world. We, and Hannah, believe in a world where the future is kind. 

We hope you'll proudly wear this tribute to Hannah. This campaign will help us with our upcoming housing projects and catching up on our Caldwell medical bills.

When we first took in Hannah, she was unable to walk, lift her head, or stand. She was a fighter, though, and through medical support, love, and sheer willpower to gain her strength:

Hannah as last year's Pig Week Ambassador. By late September, she was able to hold her head up straight, walk, run, and chat with visitors. Her recovery was amazing:

The most social, outgoing little lady. She loved to say hi and tell you all about what she was up to:

In February, Hannah's neurological symptoms began to worsen. She had a stroke and lost her ability to walk again. A supporter donated a wheelchair, and Hannah learned to scoot around and explore with it. Nothing could hold her back:

In March, Hannah's body was no longer able to fight. She never gave up, and showed her strength and resilience until she transitioned over the Rainbow Bridge, to free her spirit. Where she has been buried, a tiny cactus has been growing. We feel her spirit around us, everywhere we are. We hope for a world with more animals and people just like Hannah.
