Mork and Mindy
When Mork and Mindy first came to the sanctuary, they were quite frightened of people. They were only a few months old, and they had spent their entire lives at a vet school where various procedures were practiced on them. Thus, human contact meant pain, jabbing, nothing pleasant.
Usually when the vet schools are done poking and prodding the baby pigs, they send them to slaughter. This time they arranged for the two babies to come to Poplar Spring.
The difference in the little pigs in the short time they’ve been at the sanctuary is drastic. They are not only relaxed and happy, settled in their community of fellow pigs, they are also curious and interested in people. Humans are now associated with good things. They approach eagerly…expecting treats, I’m quite sure! Humans, formerly pain givers, are now known as food givers.
hehe, wow, i have two cats called mork and mindy. For a second I thought i’d find their pics on the site :).
Nice work :). It’s great that these poor animals find shelter here, instead of suffering once again at the hands of (in)humans!
Lucy,
That’s pretty funny that your cats are mork and mindy as well! I thought it was such a cute name set for these guys. I bet it is for yours as well!
