Big Pig in the City

In Big Pig in the City, the human characteristic given to the animals allowed us to connect to the plight of the animals. The emotion I think most people would find particular disturbing when given to an animal would have to be compassion. In particular the scene when the fish had been left on the floor after his jar was smashed and babe rushed up the stairs to save it. Anything going into a pigs mouth is lucky not to be eaten. People don't want to believe animals like pig experience compassion and other emotions, because if animals can feel emotions we are obligated to apply our wmotion towards them. Accepting animals with emotions would mean a huge lifestyle change for human kind. First of all, a sense of feeling would mean animals would deserve an equal treatment when it comes to testing or being put down. Animals have a right to life without torture or death without their consent. For us, animals suffrage will always be a slow and aching process because most people do not want to admit animals can experience emotion. It is much easier to pretend animals because it involves much less effort and no justification for the deplorable treatment of animals throughout history along with the great unjustice we have done to the environment. The language barrier will always keep animal emotions from being accepted by people because a bark or tail wag means nothing to us. The animals can say all they want to each other, just like in Babe, but it won't ever mean anything until people speak out for them.
