Hallo all of you,

My views are:

I just got hold on the following.
I found it so touching, that I wnated to share it with you here at Theos-Talk:

"The Tamworth Two captured the imagination of Britain in 1998 
when these two pigs escaped from a truck taking them to slaughter, 
burrowed under a fence, swam the Ingleburn River, and fled into a 
thicket from which they could not be induced to come out. Seen as a 
worthy escape, it won massive public sympathy. Even the 
slaughterman, Jeremy Newman, who first sighted them five days later, 
admitted: 'You can't be sentimental in this business, but I say 
good luck to them. I reckon they got more sense than we have, they 
showed a lot of initiative when they escaped. As soon as they 
caught sight of me, they made off as fast as their legs could carry 
them.' For some people, it was the first time they realized that a 
pig does not want to die. There were hundreds of offers to provide 
the pigs with a safe haven for the rest of their lives. They now 
live in an animal sanctuary where they need never again fear the 
slaughterhhouse. Given the urgency of their escape, it sems likely 
that the pigs sensed what lay ahead for them. How they did so is 
another question."

It is - I think - taken from "The Pig Who Sang to the Moon" - J. Masson
