Daisy -

While Daisy may look an unassuming pig she is actually a movie star, plucked for the obscurity of a factory farm for pigs to play Wilbur in EB White’s classic "Charlotte’s Web".

Such a stroke of luck has meant that unlike her sisters she will never be a piglet making machine nor like her brothers turned into bacon. Daisy’s life is now rich and full, as all pigs' lives should be, sleeping in straw, rooting in the soil and wallowing in the mud, oh and eating like a pig! Daisy is a very amicable and endearing pig, her ability to quickly learn tasks is indicative of the intelligence of pigs.

In a recent study of intelligence humans came out on top, although this may have a lot to do with their framing of the study. Non-human primates came in second, third were dolphins and whales with good old pigs coming in fourth and dogs a lowly thirteenth!

No longer hitting the campaign trail for pigs, Daisy spends her days lazing about the mission, showing one and all how friendly and fun loving pigs can be. You never know where Daisy and her friend Alice will turn up next. Oft times we have opened a stable to find the two curled up inside, dreaming peacefully, after all who said humans were the only ones capable of dreaming. And our bet is all pigs dream for a life like Daisy!

“Whenever people say ‘We mustn’t be sentimental’ you can take it they are about to do something cruel. And if they add ‘we must be realistic’ they mean they are going to make money out of it”. 


- Brigid Brophy (1929-1995) British Novelist, Essayist, Critic, Playwright, Ethicist
