Re: Trading Post - Piggies need help!!

It does look like they are living in horrible conditions. Just looking at the mess makes me shudder. Poor pigs. Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do as far as I am aware. You could report them to the RSPCA but I am not sure that would get you very far. Sending them an informative email that doesnt come across as harsh or bossy to the most sensitive person may be the right way to go. Taking those pigs out of their current situation wont help, as it will just free up space for this person to breed more pigs.

You could find out if she is breeding or if she just accidently had a litter of babies! If it was accidental you could adopt/foster them!

How far away is this place from you?

They're interstate. I think pigsforlife is right I'll email the rspca (australias animal protection) and hopefully they'll do something about it.

Its so sad to see how some people can keep animals and not look after them properly.
