Not sure where this post should go, but I'm a bit concerned about the photo by Gennipher in which a piggy is held around his/her tummy under the front legs. I don't want sound picky or offend, but in being held that way the piggy can be inadvertently squeezed. Looks like a child is holding him/her; does the person who took the photo know how to handle piggies? Should they have shown the child how to hold the piggy?

Which picture do you mean? Can you post a link to it or report it so we can take a look?

Yeah, that's the photo. Sorry I can't post pictures on my phone - loads for ages then conks out. Looking at it again, it does look as piggy's being squeezed, & I'm still concerned.
