A 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. ‘Being in the truck with all the pigs that were on their way to a finishing barn, which is where they fatten them up prior to going to the slaughterhouse,’ Bronfman told ABC News. ‘He got very lucky by falling out, that’s for sure,’ she said. People who were following the trailer that was carrying the pigs ‘saw the piglet sneak through a hole and fall off the trailer’, said Joyce Kemp, the Quebec provincial police spokeswoman.
