Can you help these pigs and others like them wendi has been infromed about a large number of pigs kept in just 2 cages, many of them have severe cases of mites, some are in so much pain they can't even lay down and are shaking, all are for sale at a visitor centre in scotland, the owner refuses to accept how sick they are, Nik has got 5 away but had to pay for 3, wendi is in negotiations to hopefully save the rest, but it is going to take a lot of money, not just to get them out, the treatment bill will be high, if you can help please use the link to Thistle cavies on this site and make a donation, this woman has at least 15 boars in one cage, and at least 45 females some pregnant and babies in another. In August this place is closing down for good so these pigs won't be replaced. More info will be on the Thistle cavies site, please post this appeal on any other forums you use love janet

Well done for rescuing them. You have done a great job. How can anyone treat helpless, trusting little animals like that? Sorry if i am rambling, but thats sick. That kind of thing makes me want to scream.

I have been told 10 more have been rescued now and Wendi is working to get the others out despite the owners wanting to keep them to give the visitors something to look at!
Please donate if you can.
