Thanks hun. Got a rather distressing email saying if these piggies were not collected ASAP they would be fed to other animals, so you see my urgency

Sorry baileys_mum. I'm in Leeds, Bristol, Stoke and Chester. But no York on there. :(
Surely there must be someone out there that can help? I wonder if you put it somewhere else in the forum it might attract the attention of a travelling forummer.

Yeah but where?

Good point, is it General discussions people post things like that?
If you can get them from York to Leeds I will bring them back to Sheff for you. I would travel the extra bit but would need to get back to Sheff asap for either work or the horse.
I know it's a long shot. I am there Monday morning and Friday lunchtime.

Are we talking little and fluffy or pink and oinky?

If we are can get them from A to B without mess I may be able to help with my little van.

It will cost about £10-15 in fuel. I can do it sunday if you can stand my curry flavoured and somewhat dirty van.

Is this any help:

from another forum

I go to Scarborough every Monday night, but earliest I hit York on way back is 10pm. I can get them to Barnsley, but don't know Doncaster that well? I have 1 cage, but know absolutely nothing about Gps. No probs with an overnight stay, but not much else!

ooh that's good news you sorted out collecton. :) What is their story baileys_mum

baileys_mum

Not too sure on anymore details but basically I think he took the pigs from someone else, he has a breeding program going thus has no space for these piggies. People like him give regular breeders a bad name :rant:

Can all those who gave me offers of collections let me know if you are free either tonight after 8pm or all day monday tuesday or wednesday and if you want anything for the petrol so I can speak the rescue these little piggies are headed to

I think Baileys Mum might be rescuing them herself Grinder.

Really wish I could help BM, really sorry to hear this :( You're right about those type of breeders giving responsible ones a bad name. Good look though, :D

They are destined for a rescue in Gloucestershire they are getting there via a pre arranged piggy train in a few days
