Bristol Animal Save

Bristol Pig Save bears witness to pigs going to slaughter using a love based community approach.
Bristol Animal Save has formed after gaining inspiration from Manchester pig save which was the first Save group to be formed in the UK. We will hold vigils for pigs.Following their journey to be transported to slaughter. By bearing witness together we expose the suffering of animals that is usually hidden from view. The goals are to inspire more people to be compassionate, go vegan and become more active in making the world a better place for animals.The vigils are non-violent, and inclusive. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.The Save Movement was founded by Anita Krajnc on a traffic island outside a slaughterhouse in Toronto 2010. The Toronto Pig Save gave rise to the slogan 'compassion is not a crime' in June 2015 when Krajnc was charged with ‘criminal mischief' for giving water to pigs suffering through transport to slaughter during a summer heatwave. The Save Movement is rapidly growing and is today global with hundreds of people attending vigils every week, and more locations are being planned.
