Save the Coromandel Pigs: Urgent Appeal

Hundreds of wild pigs on a Coromandel Peninsula property were lovingly cared for with kindness, respect, and protection. Now, they face an uncertain and dangerous future. Without their devoted caregiver, they are no longer receiving the care they need and are likely to become targets for hunters.

We are urgently fundraising to provide food, care, and protection for these pigs and to cover the caregiver's legal costs.

The caregiver, with name suppression, has been taken into custody after a shooting on his property where one person tragically lost their life.

For over 70 years, this man lived on the property his parents purchased, dedicating his life to these animals. Known for his gentle nature and compassion, he treated the pigs like family, raising them with love and care. Tourists from around the world visited to meet these friendly pigs, who were raised as beloved pets.

Please donate to help this man and his pigs through this difficult time. Your support will secure their future and ensure they continue receiving the love and care they deserve.
