Georgian Vegans Rescue Viral Pig Grutu from Slaughter

In the picturesque mountain resort town of Bakuriani, Georgia, an unlikely rescue mission unfolded. Grutu, a pig who had captured hearts online, was spared from slaughter thanks to the collective efforts of a group of activists. The Veganism Georgia Facebook group organized a fundraising campaign, collecting over 1600 Georgian Lari (approximately 47,000 Russian Rubles). "We couldn't stand by and watch another innocent creature suffer," said one of the activists involved in the rescue. The money was used to purchase Grutu from the farm, and she was then carefully transported to Tbilisi, where she now enjoys a comfortable life in the yard of one of the activists. The video of Grutu's rescue went viral, inspiring many and highlighting the growing animal rights movement in Georgia. This story serves as a testament to the power of collective action and compassion.
