This is probably how Abe himself ended up in Rupture Farms. That looks like him in the far-right because he's the only one with the detail added for his headband, for some reason. You gotta remember, he thought he had a good job, according to the intro to the first game. So somehow, he got tricked into thinking he had free will - or at least that what he was being made to do was for the best.

The original concept was for Abe to be a fisherman living a self-sustaining life with Elum[p46 of
The Art of Oddwold Inhabitants] before being introduced to a factory life.
The Abe we know and love purportedly grew up in RuptureFarms from birth, or shortly thereafter, depending on whether his lips were sewn shut by Sam or not.

In January 2005, Lorne appeared on G4tv.com, where he explained to the audience that Abe’s mother (Sam) sewed Abe’s lips together to keep him alive, and stated that there was a bigger reason, too. This explanation had also been proposed earlier; however, Abe’s stats page on Oddworld.com clearly states that he was hatched from an egg within the nursery of RuptureFarms, while Sam is held captive by the Vykkers.

Unfortunately, Abe's stats page is now a dead link.
