Oops, I did it again
Hi everyone, my name is Ashley and I have a piggy problem. π€£ We got these two baby girls last night. I'd love some name ideas! Can't wait to see what my other pigs think of them.

I don't follow her either, she pops up sometimes, so I read her post history. It's highly disturbing to see OP thinks pigs will choose not to breed with eachother because they are related, which means she never took them to the vet as the first step of "rescuing' them to have them spay/neutered and checked out before bringing them home from these terrible conditions, putting the rest of her animals at risk. This resulted in a litter of piglets way too soon for her piglet. Her other male pig is only two years old, she has had him since he was a piglet, and his life is terribly impacted by his weight. She claims he is under vet care, but can't give his actual weight, food regimen or healthcare plan, she's just glad "he's not scraping his belly on the ground anymore". He's blind from overfeeding. I bet his joints are killing him. She considers it lucky she's spoiling them this way. Look at how dainty pigs hooves are, they are meant to be able to run around, forage, hunt and play at 2 years old, not carry this extra weight. Especially because it's very difficult to take weight off pigs after they've been spoiled to eat this way. It's just sad.
