Loose pig found in Winnipeg last Friday

Last Friday, representatives from Manitoba Pork were notified that a pig was found near Portage Avenue and the Perimeter Highway. Staff worked with provincial veterinarians and the Winnipeg Police Service to safely load the pig onto a livestock trailer. The pig was taken to its intended caretaker, as instructed by the pig’s original caretaker.

Manitoba Pork is aware of efforts from local animal rights activists to move the pig to an animal sanctuary. Manitoba Pork does not own, manage or control the sale of any of the pigs that are raised in the province.

If you’re raising sheep or thinking about it, this is one of those small but smart management practices that really adds up over time.
