CAMP SKIPPING PIG  SANCTUARY

 Dogs and pigs are a volatile combination. Unsupervised, the combination is a disaster waiting to happen. Many people are in denial and believe their dog(s) would never harm the pig, but pigs are prey and dogs are predators. Something as simple as a squeal from the pig might trigger an attack. Or a running pig might. Or perhaps the pig trying to take the dog's food or bed...or maybe just gets in the dog's space. It could be a neighborhood dog that gets over a fence, or the pig wanders into a neighbor's yard. The pig can NEVER be too safe.

Another concern is when pigs are given away or sold via an ad. Many, many cruel people scour ads such as these for pigs to use as dog bait.

Following is a collection of photos of various dog attack victims.

     DO NOT LET THIS BE YOUR PIG!!!

This pig was attacked by dogs. Her tendons were severed and she now walks on her hocks. She also has a severe head injury.

 

DO NOT EVER THINK THIS CANNOT HAPPEN TO          YOUR PIG.

These pigs were either attacked by someone's dog by accident or were used to bait dogs to train them to hunt. Some were dumped by uncaring owners and left to be attacked by roaming dogs. And if anyone thinks hunting pigs with dogs is a satisfactory way to control populations, they should study these pictures very closely and search within their damaged souls for the reason that this would be OK.
