PIG
FIELDCLUB was home to rescue pigs TJ45481 and TJ45482 (pedigree Cornish Large Blacks) during 2006-7. It didn't work out.
While these heavyweight omnivores resided at FIELDCLUB, several projects were undertaken concerning pigs. The most involved being the attempted re-establishment of the 'Pig Function' – as outlined in the illustrated paper Whey To Go (see >Neo Agrosophy>Published Papers>Whey To Go ). However, the Fieldclubbers failed in their attempt, which resulted in the untimely slaughter of TJ45481 and TJ45482.
