Pigs in Pain

as you did... nice song, although the videoclip could maybe be a missed chance to confront people with the shocking truth (images) of those castrations... good luck, remind us again to sign the petition later, will you?

Just saw a report on het journaal a while ago, it's awful what they do to those animals...

hehehe, I saw a poster of that in a phonebooth on the new-street yesterday! I wondered what it was!! I'll check the site!!

I once saw a report on tv where they needed sperm from a pig, and then the farmer had to jerk off the pig and catch it with a goblet!! :P :D :P
But apparently not all pigs get the same treatment as the ones I saw on tv....

PS: signed the petition! Reallyreally dig this single!!! It's CUUUUUL!! Are you in that band Distreality?

No I'm not in the band but I was able to give my advice and ooppinion on some aspects of the track...So you can hear some of my influence on it...(bass,...) But I was asked to make an album about animal rights for the 15th birthday of GAIA next year in october... Maybe it would be cool if you guys made a track for it as well, the idea is to get it released....

The petition can be found in the section ' goodies ' on the website....

And about those images, it was my first idea as well to shock, but then i think the wider public wouldn't watch it, and for this message we need many people's attention...

There is a whole campaign around it, and images and photos are available as well ... just contact me for that, via pm or through my gaia mailadress eneas@gaia.be

More info can be found at GAIA ( website, post,....)

Well here it is... We at my job ( GAIA ) launched pigs in pain... A band that made a track ' why the pain ' It's about the castration of pigs, what is done without any sedation, just like that snip, balls are gone...

the reason they castrate pigs is because in 5 to 10 percent of the pigs, the meat gets a smell : ' berengeur ' , and people don't like to eat smellyu meat....

The income of the single is used to sponsor the campain against this castration, caus there are alternatives, but they refuse to use them because of the cost ( maximum 1 euro per pig, what a cost...)

voila....

i wanted to bring this under the attention of this community...
