I don’t even know how to transition into this post, so let’s just get right to it. There’s a lot of things about Chipotle that I try to ignore. Their “free-range” “cage free” “bedded pens” animal welfarist bullshit. But when I walked into Chipotle today and saw this sign, I was absolutely sick to my stomach.

“We look forward to when we can continue serving up the happy pigs you deserve!“

The nerve, the complete and utter ignorance in spreading this disgusting propaganda is sickening. “Happy pigs?” Do you REALLY think the 120 million pigs that are sent to slaughter each year are happy to be murdered? I don’t care if you sing them lullabies every night, give them treats to eat, or rub their bellies; these animals are NOT happy to be your meal. Their throats are slit, they gasp for air, and bleed out painfully. They die scared out of their poor minds. There is no way to harm and kill an animal and call it humane. It’s disturbing and it’s wrong. If you advocate animal welfare instead of animal rights, you are doing NOTHING for the animals. You’re trying to make it acceptable to hurt and murder animals when it is in no way acceptable. There is no argument. Murder is NOT humane.



What makes you think you “deserve” to be consuming their flesh? You do not own these creatures. You are not entitled to them. You are not superior to them. Animals are not commodities. You do not have a right to decide when they die and you do not have a right to their bodies. The PIGS deserve THEIR LIVES to be lived fully and freely without you getting in the way.



Every person that goes into Chipotle, reads this sign and sees “happy pigs” needs a brutal reality check. I’ve seen pigs sent to slaughter. I’ve seen them fighting and struggling while they’re being pushed around and beaten by workers. I’ve seen dead piglets left on the floor. I’ve seen the horrible and cruel practices that the industry calls ‘humane’. I’ve heard their screams and cries. I’ve seen them convulsing on the floor in their own blood. I’ve seen the fear in their eyes. It’s time for everyone to stop being blinded by false claims and ignorance.

Animal welfare is not humane. This is cruelty. This is cold-blooded murder.



I went to the manager of this Chipotle and told him why these signs need to be taken down. He said he knew nothing about the signs, walked away to check them out, then came back and told me that corporate has made these signs a requirement and there’s “nothing he can do about it.” Please, spread this post and send Chipotle some emails. I’ve had just about enough of this push for “animal welfare.” I want to see animals get their rights.
