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 [...]
The first contact
Jackpot was left to the other adult pigs at Schabenreith for the first time. Here you can watch how he makes friends. Further pictures in this series you can find as usual on Flickr.
Good Appetite – Jackpot digs in quite well
As you can see piglet Jackpot quite enjoys his meal. We caught him while eating. In fact the food is tasty. Something entirely different than in the industrial livestock farming, where his brother X15 stays right now.
One small ball against boredom – life in the pig pen
X15 is now in a pen with his siblings. Piglets are brought here when they are three or four weeks old. They are taken away from their mother and live in a group with no contact to older pigs. They mostly live on slatted floors. Piglets live in these usually bare pens which are, in [...]
Weaning news
Again we visited X15 during the weaning. As you can see he already has grown quite a bit. More pictures you can find in the associated album on Flickr. Connect with our account on Flickr and find out first if there are new pictures online. Become a contact in the network of pig-vision.

Bad news about YouTube
On Tuesday 11th August 2009 we received an email from YouTube saying that our video showing the castration of piglets without anaesthetic had been deactivated because it didn’t comply with the YouTube community guidelines. We could only find one guideline that could lead to a video being deactivated: Don’t post videos showing bad stuff like [...]
New pictures of the life of X15
X15 by now is living in a captive breeding for piglets, together with his brothers and sisters. Once again we´ll show you new pictures of his life there. More pictures you can find in the associated album on Flickr.
Differences after the separation
People are already asking about X15 and how he is. The following pictures show X15 and how differently the two piglets now live. You’ll be able to watch the next film of X15 next Tuesday You can see all the other pictures of how the two are living in the “after the move” album on [...]
