Zack Sharf Digital News Director In a heartfelt example of life imitating art, “Babe” star James Cromwell is helping save a real baby big from being slaughtered.

Cromwell serves as an honorary director at PETA and is working with the animal rights organization to transfer a piglet to the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary after it fell off a truck that was transporting it to be fattened for slaughter.
