Animal Rights Activists Rescue Starving Piglets from Controversial Danish Art Exhibit

Three piglets, named Simon, Lucia, and Benjamin, were rescued by animal rights activists from an art exhibition in Denmark, where they faced starvation, as revealed by Marco Evaristti, the artist behind the exhibit.
Caspar Steffensen helped rescue the piglets after his daughter urged him to act, prompting their secret removal, as reported by the activist group De Glemte Danske.
Animal Protection Denmark stated that sows produce more piglets than they can feed, leading to the starvation of many piglets.
Evaristti announced plans to revive the exhibit after facing backlash, possibly by using dead piglets from processing plants.
