Save the Coromandel Pigs: Urgent Appeal
Help protect hundreds of wild pigs now at risk after losing their caregiver. Donate to ensure their safety and care.
International
Many 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.
We are urgently fundraising to provide food, care, and protection for these pigs.
It is reported that the caregiver 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.
All funds will be paid will go towards food, care, and protection for the pigs.

New home for pigs & dogs 23 December 2024
The pigs and dogs are loving their new home and are settling in beautifully! 🐷🐾 Your support has made this possible, and they are thriving in their safe and loving environment.
As shared previously, fencing costs have reached $66,000, and there are ongoing expenses for shelter, food, and care. We are also happy to share that Stu's legal costs are currently covered, so all funds raised are going directly to the care and well-being of the pigs.
Thank you for standing with us and helping these animals live the life they deserve. 💕
