At the risk of offending anyone, just thought I would post this here for your information.

Edinburgh and Lothian SSPCA have 5 pigs looking for new homes

Band of brothers - obviously intended to be emotive;  micro pigs???

I worked for the RSPCA for many years ,we got farm animals quite often. We had farmer fosterers that took in these poor creatures till they were rehomed. It was funny to watch folk looking for a dog and suddenly confronted by a pig in a kennel waiting to be picked up by a friendly farmer. We also took in the ninja turtles etc........

So sad 
But unfortunately this will be the start of the fall out from the 'mini' pig business
I notice they describe them as micro pig crosses - as Little blue said - NO SUCH THINGS AS MICRO's IN THE UK (well, okay - not strictly true. Wendy Scudamore has just imported 2 from Sweden 'proper' minature pigs - but I think they're just piglets themselves so any offspring are a way off)
