PETA’s “pig truck” will be in Altoona today. It’s called the “Hell on Wheels” pig truck, and those are not its tires you’ll hear squealing—it’s the recording of actual pigs on their way to slaughter. The point of the traveling exhibit is to expose what PETA calls the meat industry’s deceitful portrayals of smiling pigs “happily” dancing their way to the dinner plate, and people are expected to get an earful on their way to Heritage Plaza as they encounter its pig sights and sounds. According to a prepared statement, PETA is rolling through towns across the country urging diners to consider who, not what is on their plates. The truck will be at Heritage Plaza in downtown Altoona this afternoon at 4:00.
