Every day we receive many requests for help regarding animals in need. This is how the call for help for the six pot-bellied pigs reached us. The caller told us that a couple had separated and the house was now to be sold. The animals would have to be slaughtered and the date had already been set! The animal lover, however, did not want to allow this and took the pigs in for the time being. But it is almost impossible to place adult pot-bellied pigs, as they have long since lost the "sweet factor". She herself could not keep the animals for reasons of space, and the despair was great. So the animal lover turned to us and asked us to take in the six little pigs. She sent us a driver who brought us the frightened and neglected animals. Our task now: to win the pigs' trust, to nurse them back to health and to give them a good and species-appropriate life.
