A WSPA hoarding has appeared in Worcester showing a crowded cage full of pigs with the slogan "60 million pigs are kept like this"

Having looked at the WSPA website there appears to be no particular campaign against pig keeping and the main thrust would appear to be in support of cruelty to animals worldwide. There is no mention on the poster about where these pigs are kept and the inference is that they are in the UK where pig keeping regs would not allow it.

When the UK pig industry is in such a state this kind of ill-informed publicity is at best ignorant and at worst malicious.

However I noticed today that someone has ripped the contact details off the bottom. An outraged pig farmer I assume?

Starting on Saturday 4 October, join in the celebrations and help WSPA raise the standard of animal welfare around the world. World Animal Week is a global event, so join other animal lovers from the farthest flung corners of the earth in making a noise!

Hold an It's A Piece Of Cake! event at your workplace, vet surgery, pub or any where else which is convenient.

All you need to do is bake up some delicious cakes, ask your guests to bring some too, put the kettle on and make the world a better place for animals! We can support you in organising your event with advice and materials such as posters and stickers.

Alternatively you could buy a nice joint of british pork and support the UK pig industry.

You could of course join the world's biggest coffee morning, support McMillan and make the world a better place for people !
