James Cromwell, who saved a loving piglet in “Babe” (1995), has just rescued a real one — and named it Babe.
The young animal was in the midst of being fattened for its meat in preparation for slaughter when it fell off a truck, Variety reported. Cromwell, who serves as an honorary director at PETA, is now helping to transfer Babe to the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary in Pennsylvania.
“Having had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing pigs’ intelligence and inquisitive personalities while filming, the movie ‘Babe’ changed my life and my way of eating, and so I jumped at the chance to save this real-life Babe,” Cromwell told the outlet Friday.
PETA told Variety the piglet was found “scraped, bruised and covered in mud” this week before Cromwell met the animal virtually and decided to adopt it. The actor played farmer Arthur Hoggett in “Babe” and its sequel and has been an animal rights activist for years.
“Every pig deserves to live in peace and joy at a sanctuary, choosing when to frolic, where to forage, and how to spend their time, yet few do,” Cromwell told Variety.
