I find this very strange, just personally working with a rescue, because I know that we keep as a sanctuary animal any pig or rabbit that seems like it's going to have long term health issues -or- we find them a long-term foster situation where we can deal with it's health problems. We have a boar that had a mammary tumor removed about 2 years ago that is now perfectly fine that we don't adopt out because the tumor might reoccur. We go out of our way not to adopt out sick pigs, even if there's only a chance that they might be sick in the future.
