In this episode, I’m getting honest about something I’ve seen far too often. Today, I’m sharing the story of a piglet and a well-meaning family who were set up to fail by a breeder who cared more about money than about the life they were helping to create. From overfeeding advice to a complete lack of vet history, this family was given none of the tools they needed to succeed—and their pig is now paying the price.
This episode is not about blame or shame. If you’ve been in this situation, please hear me when I say: it is not your fault. You trusted someone you believed was a professional. This conversation is about raising awareness, sharing hard truths, and helping prevent future families from ending up in the same heartbreaking position.
We’ll talk about:
• The dangers of backyard breeders
• What families should be told before bringing home a pig
• How to identify a reputable breeder
• What to ask, what to look for, and how to prepare
• The role of hormones, behavior, and unmet needs in pigs
• And most importantly, how we can stop supporting unethical practices by voting with our dollars and educating ourselves
If you care about pigs, want to be the best pig parent you can be, or just want to hear the truth behind some of the biggest issues in the mini pig world, this episode is for you. It’s emotional, but it’s necessary.
