I have a large black runt, that we struggled for weeks to bring up - came out barely alive but with lots of TLC has carried on life. Now at 18 weeks is the size of an 8 week old - maybe I'll sell it at £600 (bag of food thrown in for free of course and a nicely printed birth certificate!) - am sure it will only grow to knee height if you don't feed it much - any takers???

or maybe not....

HM if you look for the page 'the truth about mini pigs' once you've found it click on 'like' once you've done that you'll be able to post photo's and comment on the other posts. Oh and look for me & add me to your friends list - Karen Lindsay McKay (photo is of a little brown KK piglet

)

Oaklands - you've no idea how close to the truth you are

I have heard reports of a certain breeder who was known to have bought a runt from a litter of GOS's, as they loaded it into their car they were 'allegedly' overheard laughing and gloating about how much they could sell it for

Oh yes, and the underfeeding is a regular thing - as is early weaning

What chance of a long, healthy life have these pigs got

The barefaced cheek, lies and total disregard for animal welfare never cease to astound me $:-\$
Bet your micro Large Black soon catches up with his littermates

But they can't though Welshlass $:-\$
Yes, ordinary people will listen and can be taken in by what they say BUT trading standards and false advertising do come into play in these cases. The breeders were making false claims and IMHO that's the same as a cleaning product manufacturer making wild claims about their product or a car manufacturer doing the same. Obviously the court agreed as said breeder was prosecuted and have since changed the wording on their website

Unfortunately until some BIG TV programme or newspaper run the story there's no way to let the public know the truth - there are bits and pieces of info getting through, but not enough to really make a difference. Til then there are going to be not so micro 'micros' all over the country looking for new homes

There's a MUG born every day, but unfortuately for you are not like that otherwise you would be a "Millionaire", instead you are just pig Farmer.
Help educate them, rather than scaring the "s#*T out of them and you might make a difference instead of certain persons growling like a prehistoric cave man!!!!!
