The mini-pigs Friedlinde and Hubertus lived in the garden of an animal welfare activist for several years. The lady worked as an animal welfare volunteer for many years until her life situation changed. This change meant a new place of residence 200 km away from the pigs. The elderly mother was unable to care for Hubertus and Friedlinde due to her walking difficulties, so she contacted the Gut Aiderbichl animal emergency center. Friedlinde had been adopted by the animal welfare activist from a Messi household. So she was probably used to living with several pigs. She took things in her stride, while Hubertus wasn't so convinced at first.
