Succession star James Cromwell, who is an honorary board member of PETA, helped rescue a piglet who was en route to a slaughter house when it fell off a transport vehicle.
The baby pig has been named Babe in honor of the film in which Cromwell starred as Farmer Hoggett. The actor has previously shared that his role in that film inspired him to go vegan.

According to Deadline, Cromwell released a statement regarding the pig’s rescue. “Having had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing pigs’ intelligence and inquisitive personalities while filming the movie Babe, I jumped at the chance to give a real-life Babe a new lease on life. Every pig deserves to live out their life at a sanctuary, choosing when to frolic, where to forage, and how to spend their time.”
The piglet will now be sent to the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary in Dalton, Pennsylvania, where it will likely spend the rest of its life.
