Escaped Pigs in Southampton
The RSPCA and the Hampshire police are trying to track down the animals and members of the public have been asked to look out for the pigs but not to approach them.
Escaping pigs are not totally uncommon in the media: Two pigs in 1998 made headlines and became known as the Tamworth Two when they famously escaped from a Wiltshire slaughterhouse. They escaped through a fence and swam across a river before being captured in Kent.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
