Pigs

I've been observing how to anaesthetise pigs over the past few weeks and come to the conclusion that pigs are amazing! I'd only spent a week working with them before when I was a student, and although it was fun we weren't actually doing anything. This time it's different.

What makes it amazing is that the other people working with the pigs really love their work too and it shows in how they interact with the animals - you can tell they care.

My favourite was a 300kg boar who wanted a scratch on the back. I stood there for a good 10 minutes scratching behind his ears and he actually fell asleep! When I stopped he started kicking the pen door until someone else took my place. It was fun!
