“We are very concerned for the piglet’s welfare as it is likely that the culprit has limited knowledge of pig care and nutrition,” a post on the farm’s Facebook page said.
“As well as this, if the piglet was stolen for meat (which is likely), they may not take the piglet to a legitimate slaughterhouse. Legally, all animals being slaughtered must be stunned first so they do not feel pain when killed.”
