Compassionate as a pig

“Pig Saves Baby Goat From Drowning, Dubbed a ‘Hero’”—that was a headline in The Huffington Post a few weeks ago, and if you were one of the 6 million viewers to watch the accompanying YouTube clip of this feat, your heart likely burst when a Babe look-alike jumped into a creek to free a bleating kid from a watery demise. What a compassionate pig. So, Sacramentans, are you as compassionate as a pig? Prove it by hoofing it for goats and pigs and the other barnyard critters at Farm Sanctuary’s Walk for Farm Animals. Join or create a team for the 3-mile walk on Saturday, October 20, at 10 a.m., at Southside Park (Sixth and T streets), or be a hero from home and donate at http://events.walkforfarmanimals.org/event/sacramento.
