In May 2016 Manchester Pig Save worked with the local council in Bradford to find a safe home for ‘Leo’, a feral pig who had been roaming the streets of Fagley for almost a year. Although Leo was adored by the majority of the community where he lived a few deemed him a nuisance and had threatened to kill him next time he wandered onto their farm land. A group of determined Manchester Pig Save members tracked down the pig and enticed him into a trailer so that he could be moved to his new location. He is now extremely happy in his new home where he is able to forage for food naturally, sleep in a secure dry shelter and socialise with other animals and humans. Leo’s charming character is unforgettable, he loves to mix with all types of animals and he is great with children too.

Either way, we’re here every step of the way to help you get started. So far, we have groups started in Essex, … [Read More]

Who Are We

Who are we?

One of the most fascinating things about the Save Movement and indeed Manchester Pig Save is the wide range of people which it has attracted, all with a shared passion for animal liberation and activism. Many of the people who come to our vigils speak of feeling isolated before, as outsiders in a non-vegan world, looking on in horror at the ‘normality’ which surrounds them, which seems anything but normal to them. We have people of every age, ethnicity, gender and preference attending our … [Read More]
