Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Happy ending for this little piggie Full story: icWales A piglet who escaped from a farm where he was destined for the slaughterhouse is living a new life as a horse. The three-month-old Common White made a run for it when a load of piglets were being unloaded from the back of a lorry into a field in Mid Wales. The animal survived for six weeks in the wild, living off the land. Then the exhausted and painfully thin piglet wandered into the Lluest Horse and Pony Trust, a haven for abandoned or unwanted horses. Manager Stephanie Banks said, " The piglet was so hungry when he first arrived he was eating everything so we called him Mr Greedy. " The piglet has bonded with the ponies and horses at the sanctuary and now runs and gambols alongside them. Stephanie said, " It's a really touching sight to see the ponies standing over Mr Greedy when he sleeps. It's almost as if they are guarding him. " Shortly after Mr Greedy arrived at Lluest, the farmer arrived at the sanctuary. But it was decided as the piglet had been so determined to survive he should continue living with the horses. icWales - June 29, 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
