Heather Mills Even Makes Pigs Sick

One legged activist Heather Mills is in a peck of trouble after she led a raid on a pig farm in England a couple of weeks ago. Mills took a group from the vegetarian group Viva! to a pig farm in Somerset, England to "expose the cruel conditions the animals supposedly live in.

Unfortunately for Heather, the farm's owner says the group exposed his pigs to a disease that has subsequently made them sick.

Owner of the compound, Michael Underhill, claims the stunt has made his pigs sick because they were exposed to a disease brought onto his property by the campaigners. He is also threatening to take legal action against the group for trespassing.

Heather and her cohorts targeted Bridgewater Farm because of the owner's use of furrowing crates - narrow pens used to house sows while they give birth and nurture their piglets.

Although the crates are legal and widely used worldwide, Viva! want them outlawed. Video footage of the raid shows Heather putting on overalls and disinfecting her boots before entering the compound.


Heather and her buddies may end up being charged with trespassing.
