Pompy Do -
Miss Pompy Do "Pompy" to her friends, actually started life out as Bella, the starlet piglet who championed the cause of pigs early in December
of 2004 touring the country with such famous celebrities and actors as James Cromwell, Jackie O and Suzie Wilks. Bella had been reprieved from a factory farm about 8 weeks prior to Christmas to spearhead Animals Australia’scampaign highlighting the plight of her not so lucky mother and sister’s in factory farms.
Having more than admirably fulfilled her role as ‘Ambassador for Pigs’, Bella had secured her future. No sow stall would ever confine this free spirit (and what a free spirit we were to soon learn) and so she was "retired" to Edgar’s Mission on the 24th of December 2004.
As days went by it soon became obvious that a new and more appropriate title for this little ‘princess’ who embraced every aspect of life with confidence and exuberance was needed - ‘Miss Pompy Do’ aptly fitted the bill.
Pompy’s day begins with wheat-bix and walks. She, like all pigs, is very clean by nature and does not like to mess in her stable preferring to wait until let out. To this day she loves to play with gum tree branches (just like Edgar does) and her ball, this she would do for hours much like the soccer greats. Oh, and tummy rubs, yep, keep them coming.
Pigs, like dogs delight in having their tummy rubbed and will gladly lie down at any moment for one. Pompy is always on hand to help out around the farm telling one and all her view of the world, which as you can imagine is always the correct one! Pompy confirmed our view that pigs are one of the, if not the, most social animals we have come by, greeting every animal with a friendly little "nff nff".
