Sideways was part of a criminal neglect and cruelty case in Washington State that was prosecuted and won in 2018. The entire family was starving while living in a mixture of filth and excrement. OMI partnered with Pasado’s Safe Haven to help bring every animal to safety that day, and the abusers were taken to trial and convicted. OMI brought eight pigs to safety that day, including siblings Thug Muffin, Rambo, Black Betty, Sweet Tea and Sideways, along with their parents, Jolene and Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man.
Sideways earned her name because she escaped a very detailed quarantine plan on arrival to OMI from the rescue site. She was safely contained, and we laughed at how the best laid plan often goes sideways when pigs are involved! She lives in the Northwest Neighborhood with her family.
