Hayley, from Pulborough in West Sussex, said: “The pigs are doing excellent, the 2 young boys have actually been castrated so that they can stick with their mum and sis. “They have actually begun to imitate pigs must be spirited and wallowing.” Unfortunately, Hayley declared that the practices still continue at the farm from which the pigs were recuperated. She said: “The farmer is continuing his trade and is enabled to treat animals in this method as they are thought about animals for meat so are not supported to any animal well-being checks.” Hayley is no complete stranger to saving animals and has actually formerly recuperated 74 sheep at the sanctuary that she funds herself. Hayley said: “As well as these pigs I have actually rescued 74 sheep that would have wound up in the food cycle all who should have and require love, care and a home. “The costs to look after and feed, treat, basic everyday expenses of medications for the elderly animals, preventative treatments to stop health problem and leasing for the land to keep them on is extremely high. “It’s just through these platforms that we can wish to raise funds so that I can continue to save not simply these sweet souls however much more. “I’m wanting to inform individuals about these animals so they can make much better choices when it concerns the food they consume and the system that they pay into. “I presently money the entire sanctuary out of my own pocket however feel it is essential for me to do so as I can not just sit by and view these things take place.”
