Pig Story on the BBC

Click on the image above to go to the BBC news story on the Pigs. It was from a month or so ago but is still very much of interest (of course!).

This raises the issue of where to find other pigs that are not on the street. After a quick trawl around, there seem to be a number of porcine creations that may be a little harder to spot. These include-

and the 2 pigs that appear in the video above-

The Jigsaw Pig
Pigasus

and which was the poor pig pulled from the canal?

We must track these pigs down!

On a sadder note, I understand that several pigs have suffered attack by the mean of spirit. There is a youtube video of the rescue of a pig from the canal. I think this might relate to such an event. Why would people deface, damage, or chuck a piece of art in a canal? Surely they must question themselves while being so destructive? Beats me! People are going out of their way to bring interest and fun to the city and it can only be the very small minded that feel they are able to deface or damage works of art.

UPDATE

The pig that was rescued from the canal was the result of an accident, and is the pig that Peter Wells is working on. The pig was being transported on a bicycle trailer along the towpath and must serve as a warning to all towing pigs by waterways. The one upside is that it was not an act of vandalism.
