In 2017, more than 60 pigs were simply abandoned in Carinthia because the owner was overwhelmed. An animal welfare organization became aware of this and was able to catch the pigs and accommodate them well. But many sows were pregnant and some piglets were born disabled. An animal lover turned to Gut Aiderbichl and asked for help for a pig that was particularly close to her heart. When Markus Leitner, estate manager of Gut Aiderbichl Carinthia, arrived on site, he did not want to take a single pig and asked to be allowed to pack Gusti as well. Fortunately, this was not a problem and so Gusti also became an Aiderbichler!
