Elsie at Pigs Peace
[From email from Pigs Peace]
This picture was taken when Elsie was up for a brief moment to eat and potty.
This sick piglet sleeps over 23 hours a day! laboring every breath.
A man in a pick-up truck on a Washington highway was carrying a crate with piglets. He slammed on his brakes, the crate broke open and, as he made a sharp turn, each piglet fell out onto the highway to be hit by cars and killed. All but one, and she is Elsie!
Another man, who was driving, witnessed all this, stopped traffic to save the piglet, then called and asked to bring her here!!!
Elsie is VERY sick with pneumonia on top of recovering from car accident trauma and an injured leg.
Elsie barely moves as it takes all her energy to breath. It will take a long time to physically recover.
Elsie is terrified of people.
Elsie was chased and caught to be crammed in a crate with others, totally traumatized with falling out of a moving vehicle onto a highway and seeing her siblings killed. Then chased and caught by her “rescuer” to be brought here!
Now Elsie must learn she is safe! This will take many hours of contact by me with medical treatments and intensive nursing care, giving fresh bedding, offering varied and frequent food samplings, cleaning up after her. Elsie will eventually learn she is free from harm and cared for. This will take a lot of work. This is the work of love. This is what we do at Pigs Peace Sanctuary.
Your support of Elsie is a shout out YES for HER life and HER healing!
We can`t do it without you!
Help the pigs
Please help.
