Hamilton is a beautiful Berkshire mix and was one of the 159 pigs surrendered to OMI when we moved to Tennessee and took over the herd in 2021. He lives in the Old Guys neighborhood, which is closest to the main swamp and tucked safely on the edge of the holler.
Hamilton is a Berkshire mix, which is a pig bred solely for human consumption. It’s a rare occasion that they are fortunate enough to find safety in a sanctuary home. Why would anyone rescue a pig instead of eating it? The common denominator in the rescue of ANY species is the same…someone cared enough to show compassion for another living being.
