Imagine you are a tiny piglet, only one month old. You are torn away from your mother and scrunched into a dirty truck full of other little piglets, wiggling and stepping on top of each other. You are frightened because you have no clue what is happening to you. What would you do?
Yoda’s Story
One little piggy riding down a highway in Canada decided to make a break for life. He found a small opening and jumped off a moving truck that was bound for a finishing facility. Ultimate goal: he was to be fattened up for slaughter. The pigletdidn’t understand he landed on a highway full of potentially dangerous traffic.
“The people who were following that trailer saw the piglet sneak through a hole and fall off the trailer,” said Sûreté du Québec spokeswoman, Joyce Kemp, as reported byCBS NewsMontreal. They called police who eventually found the little guy walking along the highway. He had some bruises and abrasions on his snout from where he managed to push his way out of the truck. Otherwise, he made the great escape in good health.
Kemp reports police contacted animal control officers who eventually found a permanent place for this little piggy at Wishing Well Animal Sanctuary just north of Toronto. Brenda Bronfman, Wishing Well founder, named him Yoda. “He just loves to crawl into people’s laps and be held. He’s a little angel,” said Bronfman. “There is always somebody on the farm, and he will just be loved for the rest of his natural life.”

"one-month-old piglet called Yoda miraculously avoided the slaughterhouse and has found a new home in an animal sanctuary in Canada.

Yoda escaped his fate on the dinner plate when he fell off a truck that was taking him and other piglets to be readied for their eventual demise.

The animal had suffered scrapes and bruises from the fall, but was in good overall physical health.

Brenda Bronfman, the founder of Wishing Well Sanctuary in Bradford, Ontario, Yoda’s new home, said the pig was ‘emotionally traumatised’ from the experience."
