SOMEBODY HAS BLOCKED THE GATEWAY SO THE

Peppa Pig...

We are often asked to collect stray and abandoned animals and
on a March morning we were on our way to Peterborough to
pick up a pig who had been left to fend for himself for five
weeks. When we were still an hour away we received a frantic
call from the lady who had been doing her best to feed him,
telling us a ‘Hog Roast’ van with trailer had arrived at the field
and its occupants were trying to round up the pig!!!

In desperation, we posted the above ‘STOP PRESS’ message
on our Facebook page hoping one of our supporters may be
able to help. Local news also got involved and the BBC picked
up the story.

Thankfully, somebody
was able to block the
Hog Roast van in and
we were able to bring
Peppa back to the
Sanctuary, where he
has had the little ‘op’
and received
treatment for a skin
condition.
