I have posted this link even though it is a very distressing article. The pigs in the story were sold by myself to Roger at 9 weeks old. The headline is not correct in stating that the piglet was the runt of the litter it just happened to be smaller than the boars it was sold with even so to have its life ended in such a way fills me with great sadness. I apologise if this upsets anyone but I think we need to understand the kind of people some of us have to live with and be on our guard against the mindless minority.

  This behaviour makes me so so angry,an eye for an eye.These scum need putting down!

[Mammyshaz]

So sorry, it is unthinkable that anybody could do such a thing.

This saddens me, in fact also worries me as the piece of land were looking to rent has a foot path running along it!!

[Brijjy]

Horrible horrible thing this. What on earth are these kids learning and where from?

[little blue]

the headline was enough
poor little mite, the mentality of some people....

[Sylvia]

The dear little soul, bad luck to those who did this . Another reason why all my piglets will go to the butcher!

I could not bring myself to click on the link - but can imagine what it said

[HappyHippy]

Well, I did Roxy and believe me - you'e better off not knowing 

It's vile, sickening and beyond my understanding how children can behave in this way - what sort of example are they being set 

[JulieS]

Words fail me

What is the kids of today coming too  ???If they are caught and I hope they are, they should be booted about the field and have the same dome to them as they did to Matilda, all who do harm to animals either pigs, swans horses as in the article should have the same done to them, then their parents would then understand how upset farmers, smallholder or hobby farmers feel when their animals lives are threatened. This is not new trend, it has just got more vile, still of the opinion, the wee ******s need to get a very good booten, (what goes round comes round sometimes takes longer)

[Horse & Farm]

Speechless, what is this country coming to !

I should just love to resurrect old fashioned "stocks" and put them in there for a long day on public display.   Not only for the pleasure of throwing rotten tomatoes at them, but so that all the local parents and adults could get a good look at their faces and know which ones to watch out for the next time they try something similar, which they undoubtedly will - Tamsaddle

Time the law treated kids like this a lot harder.
