Medium “Dead Meat” Episode Gets Invaded By Live Pigs (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 14th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, Videos.

Medium airs tonight at 8PM on CBS guest starring several live pigs.

The episode, Dead Meat, has Patricia Arquette‘s character Allison solving the mystery of a missing animal rights activist and she uses the pigs to get clues about the disappearance.

Make no doubt about it, these actors are some of the brightest on the big screen.

“The pigs worked out really well and a lot of people don’t realize how smart pigs really are,” Greg Wolf, prop master, says in the video.

Researchers have estimated their intelligence to be at least that of a three year old and scientists have also found pigs have passed the mirror self-recognition test, where they understand what a reflection is and use it to check out their environment and find food.

Pigs like mirrors too, huh?

Guess they’re not that different from any other actor in Hollywood.

Friday night’s Medium starring Patricia Arquette will have an animal rights twist to it.

After an animal rights activist working undercover at a farm goes missing, clues to solving the disappearance come from none other than a pig that Allison befriends.

Could pigs serve as detectives like dog serve as canine cops?

In one experiment, pigs were taught to retrieve items and they remember doing so three years later.

Or perhaps they’d be better at pushing paper.

Another experiment showed pigs able to move cursors on a computer screen and distinguish previous scribbles from new ones. In other words, the pigs performed a job similar to what many do in their dreary, boring cubicles from 9-5, Monday through Friday.

Catch Medium tomorrow at 9/8C for the episode.

So everybody knows Avatar and Mad Men took home a trophy at the Golden Globe awards, but who won in the category of best dressed star?

The Veg Star gives Anna Paquin the award for sporting the most ethical fashion that night.

Suze Yalof-Schwartz, executive fashion editor at large for Glamour magazine, shared her top picks for the best and worst dressed on “The Early Show,” and reported Anna’s dress, a “Stella McCartney gold beaded gown with a plunging v-shaped neckline,” as one of her top picks.

Of course, not everyone got a thumbs up from Glamour’s editor.

Maybe if Patricia Arquette had worn a dress by vegetarian Stella, Yalof-Schwartz would not have described her bad fashion sense as, “captured by a fisherman’s net, like she was dragged in by the sea.”
