Recently New Zealand Open Rescue saved another two piglets from a lifetime of caged suffering. These two new girls were rescued from a typically disgusting intensive pig farm during an investigation. The rescued girls have gone to live with LouLou and Lola (the piglets we saved last year in honor of Mother’s Day).
LouLou and Lola are doing really well since their rescue. They’ve grown quite a lot but they still have the same personalities as when they were tiny rescued piglets. Lola (from the bathing scene in the Mother’s Day video) is still quite shy and gentle and LouLou is still really outgoing with an ‘in your face’ attitude.
Their mum tells us that their favourite thing to do is play soccer together with an old soccer ball. They spend hours playing together in a muddy wallow butting the ball backwards and forwards to each other with their noses. The games can get quite elaborate and competitive we’re told!
All of the girls spend most of their days roaming an apple orchard together munching on the apples that are scattered all over the ground. They live happily with a variety of other rescued animals including calves and ex-battery hens.
The new girls have been named Hannah and Montana (not by us!) and have settled into their new home really well.
Please remember that while Open Rescue can save the lives of a few animals, YOU personally can help to save the lives of many, many more. Use your consumer power and say no to pork. By not financially supporting the pork industry, you are directly helping to stop the suffering.
