PigTrudy Does The Unthinkable!

[@SandraDeCou]

“She has to learn her way in a new world”....Pig Trudy is like us, learning our new world!🤷🏻‍♀️😉😊

[@leannadelone5696]

I'm watching the older videos... Pig Trudy was so cute as a baby...and when she grew up to be a full fledged Farm Pig, she is still the cutest rooter ever. I'm so glad things worked out for both her and Jamie.

[@terrykoger7419]

I was raised around hogs most of my life on a small farm. We had chickens and other animals as well. We had several chickens get killed by the pigs, domesticated or not. That is just a fact of life, once they start killing chickens they are to break that habit. You will have to either pen up the chickens or pig Trudy and let them out separately. Like one viewer said it may have one of your cats. They do have tendency to bring their kill to the front door and all you saw was pig Trudy eating it. I feel bad for Jamie. But, I also feel bad for you Lester. It puts you between a rock and a hard place. Because you love all the animals and yes some become more of your favorites than others. Just like people you have some you like more than others, it doesn't make you a bad person, it shows that you're only human. Keep up the good work at the sanctuary. 👍👍🙏

[@dianeleahan3357]

Did you know they found the chicken...it was fine, except for some missing tail feathers...and she's never done it again...

[@christinezemanek-newberry2716]

Well unless we seen Trudy eat the chicken then I wouldn't accuse her of doing anything wrong as of yet because it very well could have been one of the cats. With that being said even if she did do it she's doing what would come natural to her being that she is a wild pig not a domesticated pig. I think the life that you're giving Trudy for now is good and you're doing your best to integrate her natural life into her current life. It's all going to work out in the end. Team Trudy

From Facebook and their posts, thank you Cathy for a great job updating us...😉 "*update 6:32am* so after this video was made we found the chick that we thought had been eaten. It turned out it was hiding and thankfully only missing tail feathers. We are working on solutions to prevent this as we love every animal here -they are our family- and are certainly open to suggestions as we mentioned on our live video last night. No one is getting put down or leaving... but we are reconfiguring and testing things out.

Pig Trudy is one of my favorites...and I'm not really even what I'd call a pig person, but man I love that pig an awful lot. Glad it turns out she didn't actually kill that chicken and it was actually just hiding out with a few less feathers. I'm also glad you decided to keep her. She's to humanized to be released and that could spell trouble for her big time.

[@kaylarson3843]

You absolutely did the right thing taking her in and giving her a great life!! She may have started out her life as a feral but that doesn't necessarily mean that is where she will end up, but more a description of her temperament or personality, she is and always be just a little leaner than the potbellies and she will be more adventuresome than other pigs but sorry she is already domesticated. She cannot just go back to the brush. I would hate that she could be hit on the road too if allowed to roam freely. I'm sorry about the chicken too. Goodness knows they have a great life there too, they can easily adapt to being restricted to certain parts of the farmyard, for their own protection. I really do enjoy seeing them mix with everybody else, they are so cute, I know you say they are Jamie's chickens but be honest they are your chickens too. I'm sorry for you both on that loss.

[@julieenslow5915]

"E tu Brutus" which means "You too Brutus?" (I'm not looking it up - been a long time - so yes i am sure i mispelled it). Comes from the story of the Ides of March when Julius Caesar was attacked by the Roman Senate and others with swords and knives. As he was being driven to the ground with multiple wounds, he saw his best friend, Brutus, was helping them. Those are the last of his words that were recorded for posterity. OK I looked it up. Google says, "Et tu, Brute" is a Latin phrase literally meaning 'and you, Brutus?' or 'also you, Brutus?' The phrase refers to Caesar's shock at seeing one of his best friends and political proteges, Marcus Junius Brutus, as part of the conspiracy to kill him. It has become synonymous in modern culture as a way to denote betrayal or backstabbing by close friend or associate. I was close! There were some in the Senate who participated (Brutus being one i think) but it wasn't the Senate that did it. And i forget the date of the Ides of March - I think the 12th or 15th of March.
