Yummy The Pig

The Long Island 10, 5 boys, 5 girls, we already had 2 siblings that escaped the nightmare their brothers and sisters were living...so technically the Long Island 12...once everyone is altered the 2 bothers will be reunited to their siblings...

The survival of all 12 just shows how incredibly strong and resilient pigs truly are...

Janice Skura and her husband will be transporting each group to be altered in PA by Dr Wilburs at the Quakertown Animal Hospital...

Broome Animal Sanctuary is fundraising, Janice is fundraising, we are fundraising in I Love Pot Belly Pigs as well...

Spays are $600 each and neuters are $350 each and that's the discounted rescue price...females are pregnant so they must be spayed quickly, the fathers are their brothers...

If anyone would like to donate directly to the vet, Long Island 10, under Janice Skuras acct, we would be so incredibly appreciative...

We are self funded, we never ask for anything, but taking these babies need to be spayed/neutered asap which is something we were not prepared for, but they will be safe and cared for ❤️

Sinnamon one of our newest intakes from the Manhattan ACC was at the Little Lucy's Annual Halloween Pet Parade representing rescue pet pigs 🙂🐷

She was such a trooper, she let everyone pet her tummy and touch her snout while spreading the word of the plight of pet pigs and how many end up in rescue...

She has some big hooves to fill since we lost Yummy, but she's proving to be a wonderful education piggy 🐷❤️

She will be with Sluggy to see Santa at Little Lucy's Pet Boutique in December 🎅❤️🐷❤️

Sisterly love, Daisy and Maisy...Pigs create bonds even while in vitro...these special girls were brought to the Brooklyn ACC a while back nearly dead in a Rubbermaid...look at them now :-)

Well this is Vader...this poor very old man was discovered by a good Samaritan whom found him thrown into a DUMPSTER in Brooklyn...he was discarded like common everyday trash...

He was thrown in the dumpster before the last storm and who knows how long he was in there and what he was in there with...if he hasn't been found his story could have had a very horrible painful ending...

Thankfully the finder contacted the Brooklyn ACC and the incredible team at the ACC worked their magic as well as their transport team and now Vader is here...he got his hooves trimmed immediately, got a good hot shower and scrubbed up, antibiotics, water and food and now has a nice memory foam bed and soft warm yummy comforter (bed and comforter compliments of the North Fork Animal Welfare League Inc in Southold, NY)

Hes starting to come around and is walking much better...his breathing is a bit rough but he looks to have some congenital issues from some seriously poor breeding, but hey, it's all about making a buck to these greedy pos breeders...

Again, rescues are DROWNING, they have no more room anywhere in any part of America and the over breeding just won't slow down...between breeders, back yard breeders and just plain old ignorant and irresponsible the pigs are seriously losing...

Please spread the word, do NOT get a pig from a breeder, find reputable rescues if you know you are ready for a 20yr commitment with an intelligent and emotional 5yr old little butthead 🙂

DO NOT belive the breeders, they LIE to make a buck, DO RESEARCH, reach out to rescues join groups such as:

I love pot belly pigs
https://www.facebook.com/groups/252960114791621/?ref=share

Or

Magnificent pet pigs education and entertainment aka MPPEE
https://www.facebook.com/groups/480520655628912/?ref=share

These are non breeder groups and you will get nothing but education and help from people passionate about the pigs and not the money

Meet Vader...Vader was just saved from a dumpster from Brooklyn...thanks to the incredible teamwork of the finder as well as the ACC and New Hope Partners he will be coming here next wk...

Seriously who the f**k dumps a living being I'm a dumpster...?

So Dec 29th we took in Peppa whom was an owner surrender to the ACC whom was near death starved and mangy, then we took in out no name girl Feb 15th from the ACC that was picked up by NYPD in Manhattan after being abandoned in a park and now this poor boy Vader whom was dumped in a dumpster in Brooklyn...

Vader could have met a horrible fate, he could have froze to death, eaten something in the dumpster to kill him, saved and used as a bait, saved and eaten, or crushed by the garbage truck just to name a few...but thankfully someone found him, took him in even though illegal in the 5 boroughs, reached out to the ACC and now he will get his hooves trimmed and a safe home...we cannot than this person enough for being so compassionate and getting involved...now let's hope he's neutered because we have had a run of intact females, we have 11 to spay so no intact boys lol 🐗🐷🐗

Peppa the little troublemaker ❤🐷 Peppa came to us thru the incredible teamwork of the Brooklyn ACC...she was an owner surrender just after Christmas 2021 weighing just 9.9lbs, severely starved (she should be closer to 100lbs at a yr of age), skin and bones and covered in mange...we are thankful the people surrendered her or she would not have lived much longer...

Please, don't get a pig unless you are prepared for a 20yr commitment, you have a pig experienced vet, you will have them spayed/neutered, potentially have 2 as they do better in pairs and are zoned...none of the 5 boroughs of NYC are zoned

28/01/2022

It's amazing what a month of proper diet will transform...Peppa still isn't out of the woods, as she has grown stronger but the damage to her anatomy and physiology is becoming apparent as she is showing signs of severe weakness in her back legs...so while the rest of her is growing stronger, the back legs are growing weaker...we shall cross that bridge as it comes as shs may need wheels...

30/12/2021

Just had this little peanut surrender to the Brooklyn ACC...at a year of age she should be closer to 100lbs roughly, she's 9.9lbs and has mange which is stress induced...that was her reason for surrender...she will be fine with specialized care for starved piggies and when healthy she will be spayed...this should never happen!!! Stop starving them, do your research, this is cruelty and abuse

Hi pig family. Dr Erin is taking in an injured, traumatized farm piglet. She will be fostering and caring for Buttons until he can go to WSU vet school in Pullman, Wa for surgery to try to save his right front leg. He was in an absolutely horrible situation just sitting in a wire kennel on a soaking wet blanket in someone’s front yard out in Eastern Washington- his foot had been chewed off by dogs. It appears he was this way for several days as there is significant infection and destruction of the radius and ulna, soft tissue swelling and a stump of granulation tissue. Someone removed him from the situation Monday night and turned him into the local animal rescue who had him evaluated by a vet yesterday. At least he is warm, dry, fed, on pain meds and antibiotics. Say a little prayer for Buttons. Once he's been tended to we will figure out what type of prosthetics or or wheels...

We have the gofund me to help us to help him pay for the extensive surgical costs and prosthetics so that he may have a wonderful quality of life 🐷❤ Any donations would be greatly appreciated, please share ❤

Buttons came to Adams County Pet Rescue( ACPR), a shelter in Eastern Washin… Erin E Zamzow needs your support for Help Buttons Get The Care He Needs

Other observations with wild pigs are that they have tool skills, wild pigs were observed digging nests with sticks...

At the moment pigs are ranked 4th in intelligence, 1 humans, 2 primates, 3 whales/dolphins followed by pigs, but since science isn't finite and new discoveries are made every second, pigs just keep demonstrating just how much higher they are...then again with a DNA that is a 98% match to humans is it really a surprise...people think pigs are stupid and dirty, they are anything but...

That's why when a pig comes here to live, that unless they go to a new home immediately they stay as they have created new family bonds to the others that are here...they've already lost one family sometimes several families so here they have stability till their dying day...

A wild boar carried out a daring mission to free two piglets from a trap, demonstrating high levels of intelligence and empathy, a new paper published in Scientific Reports shows.

Today we met Bits 🐷 Bits is one big boy who's momma needed a little help getting his hooves trimmed...Ivy, Alexis and myself went and did his back hooves today and tomorrow we will do his front hooves...we wanted to break it up since he's he's a big boy...normally we would do all hooves at once but we didn't want to stress him more than necessary 🙂 he'll be up and running around in no time with his new hoofies and his momma is very thankful 🙂
