 LATEST WORRYING NEWS
 
On the morning of 14th August 2009 on the BBC News it was reported that the Government will in the next 7 days be deciding on wether to ban the sales of Pet Pigs for a period of 12 months.  They say that the popularity of "Pet Pigs" has been an increasing and due to the Swine Flu Epidemic feel that it may be sensible to ban the sales until it has ended.  There is absolutely no evidence that Swine Flu can be caught directly from a pig and it is widely published that it is passed on from Human to Human.  I don't understand it at all. 
 
I sincerely hope that this will not happen.  If it does then it will be the end of my business for sure and I personally will loose an awful lot of investment time and hard work.
 
If you have already applied for or received your CPH number and are still considering a pig as a pet then may I suggest that you contact me soon just in case this actually happens.  If you have not yet applied then maybe a call to the Rural Payments Agency on Monday might get you your CPH number in time.
 
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or decide that you would like to visit or see photos of our latest babies.

Presumably some halfwit thinks pet pigs are kept in houses - some are i know, but why dont they have a reality check!
Why should pet pgs be dealt with differently to pigs in general!!

If pigs can catch and pass on the disease what about monkies?  dogs? horses?  I dont know if they can just wondering.
