A pig, who was brutalized in horrifically cruel “hog-dog” fights, is finally living a peaceful, cruelty free life. His name is “Jude,” and prior to being taken in by Houston’s Mini Pig Rescue & Network, he was subjected to unbelievable pain and ongoing suffering.
According to the group, Jude was found alongside a busy road with “severe” injuries indicative of his use in the cruel blood sport. Meagan Se, a spokesperson for the group, told the Chronicle, “Both of his hind legs had bloody impressions from a rope being tied to them tightly as well as a bloody rope burn around his neck.”
Jude’s horrific life is over – today he has healed from his wounds and he is learning what is feels like to be treated with love and compassion. On August 12, the group caring for him wrote:
This boy has gone from a poor piggy that many people thought should have been euthanized, to a set and loving pig that can hear and is seeing better by the day!!! He has come so far in less than two weeks with a great vet and lots of love. Jude is a true testament to overcoming anything that tries to stop us.
Recently adding:
He’s up and acting like a normal piggy now. Loves his safe, new life with us and is never going to feel pain or fear again.

I remember this story! Jude is looking good and it makes me smile from ear to ear that this once bait hog dog is living his deserved happy life 🙂 Doesn’t always work out that way, but it sure feels good when It does!
Thank you, Houston’s Mini Pig Rescue & Network, for saving Jude. May Jude have a long life full of love.
This is no sport – it is blatant animal cruelty and Texas keeps on proving their lack of consideration for animals. This state must be populated by the lowest form of society – anyone that would consider this cruelty entertainment should be put in a strait jacket and dumped in the nearest landfill with the rest of the trash.
I remember Jude’s horrible story,so thankful he is doing well! ❤️HAPPY LIFE JUDE❤️
