Another injured and tethered pig now has a proper pen now

April 14, 2024

This pig in Uganda was tied up tightly around his leg (as many are) and injured, left all the time in the sun. Thanks to the Ugandan NGO, “The Vegan Village”, with some financial assistance from Eyes on Animals, this pig now has a new “home”. Bob, director of The Vegan Village, built him a pen with a roof. Mister Pig can now walk, root and wallow around freely without the pain of a rope tied around his wounded leg, and can lie in the shade. Now we just have to organize that he also gets a friend!
