Life of the pig-vision pigs – a retrospect
The project pig-vision has kept an eye on the lives of two pigs for seven months. They were two brothers who couldn’t have spent their lives more differently. If you don’t know yet what this project actually was going directly about, this story will be able to help you with comprehending.
Now then, in this comparison of videos, we want to give you a retrospective overview about the life of the observed pigs. For that purpose we are going to show here the most important stations of both lives with a small fraction of the developed videos.
| X15 – pig in mast | Jackpot (X11) – the saved one |
|---|---|
| June, the 26. in 2009: Birth of both piglets (and their siblings). | |
| June, the 27. in 2009: Piglets just have been living for a couple of hours. | |
| June, the 30. in 2009: X15 is castrated without any anaesthetization - Jackpot will be castrated with anaesthetization one month later. |
|
| July, the 22. in 2009: Both piglets are separated from their mother. X15 comes to the so-called “piglets’ breeding”, Jackpot moves to the animal sanctuary. |
|
| X15 and Jackpot at the age of 4 weeks. | |
| August, the 26. in 2009: Even now lives of both couldn’t be more different. | |
| September, the 10. in 2009: X15 is come from breeding to mast. On the contrary Jackpot can move absolutely freely himself. |
|
| September, the 15. in 2009: That’s the way how lives of both looks like until now. This certainty won’t change until January. | |
| January, the 28. in 2010: X15 is killed – Jackpot may live continuing. | |
And for completion there are still 10 pictures which are chosen by chance and which were originated in those seven months. (Every time if you visit this page, different pictures will be shown.)
