NIKE OMEDO: ‘ “This is what you’re killing,” Cromwell said of the dead piglets. “Do you want to do this? As a country, as a people, … as Christians, do you want to do this?” Animal rights activists are protesting animal cruelty at the Smithfield’s Circle Four Farms in Milford with the help of Babe the Pig’s famous owner, actor James Cromwell.

Since filming Babe, Cromwell has become a vegan and an animal rights and environmental activist. He has been arrested for protesting against animal testing, protesting a natural gas-fired power plant and for disrupting an orca show at SeaWorld’. SOURCE…
