Haahaa very good Rich. I must admit im a little concerned that as to why you would want to take a pic of a pigs bum in the first place....but hey im not judging

Well i live in Devon, so it makes it change from sheeps bums

(No offence to anyone mean't of course)

I was trying to take a happy shot and found the pigs bum to be the one, it was pretty sad at the farm on Lands End, they chain the ponies up with a short chain, and one in particular was tangled up but the staff didnt seem too worried, the pony was though and its eyes were too sad to watch. It was totally confused that it couldnt move anywhere and its chain was tight up against its belly inbetween its front legs too so when it moved, its head was yanked downwards. Many of us tried to help, including telling the staff but they totally ignored us so we moved on, finally it managed itself!

People like that should be banned from keeping animals for life Rich.

Surely a photo of the horse tied up in the chain and a report with photo to the RSPCA would have given a better outcome than being ignored so moving off.

I once walked up behind an idiot as he had a labrador by the back legs swinging it against a fence. He lost his rag with it as it kept knocking him of his bike as he tried to ride it while holding on to the dogs lead.

There was a lovely nettle covered ditch at the side of the bike path...........I think you can guess what happend next! I made sure the dog found a good home

What a buzzzzzz it gave me

yeah well done - I see things like that all to often, but unfortunately I'd get sacked for taking such direct action. Only lat week i had a guy swinging a king charles cav spaniel round by its tail.

when I stopped him he said (edited for foul language) " you can .... off, its my dog, and i'll do what i..... ing well like with it so ..... you. I couldnt think of a response that didnt involve a punch in the face, so photographed him - still holding said dog by its tail and sent the photo to the RSPCA - as I also know roughly where he lives hopefully they'll prosecute him.
