‘Succession’ Star James Cromwell rescues a piglet from going to slaughterhouse

Los Angeles, April 8 : Actor James Cromwell, who portrays Ewan Roy in the hit series Succession, helped save a piglet who fell off a transport truck headed to a facility where he would have been fattened for slaughter.

The little piglet has been named Babe in honour of the film in which Cromwell, who is also a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) honourary board member, starred as Farmer Hoggett.

That role inspired him to go vegan, reports Deadline.Cromwell issued a statement on the pigs rescue.

"Having had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing pigs intelligence and inquisitive personalities while filming the movie Babe, I jumped at the chance to give a real-life Babe a new lease on life.Every pig deserves to live out their life at a sanctuary, choosing when to frolic, where to forage, and how to spend their time.

"The new christened Babe will be sent to the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary in Dalton, Pennsylvania.dc/kvd #James #Cromwell #rescues #piglet #slaughterhouse #Los Angeles .
