Tartin special well named you must take more drink than the said wig - strongbow mac to his pal.

I assume from what you say you would be happy to have a pig in your garden for months on end, How can it be illegal for a vet to put down an animal that was abandoned

The pig was far from abandoned . Special Tartan is not a drink I have ever heard of, perhaps , as an obvious expert on the subject you could enlighten me .

The pig wasn't in anyone's back garden.

Perfectly illegal..when said beast belongs to someone else!
The matter belongs in the courts not in the head of the person who believes he/she is a law unto themselves..

This is the most entertaining fictional story I have ever read. Well done to "bystander" for a very clever piece of writing, witty and amusing - I hope this story runs and runs (unlike the "peeg").

this tale really brings home the bacon

i'm amazed at all the "new" posters on here who haven't commented on any other thread but this one and seem to know everything about everyone else who has posted. Guess it must be the sock puppet season!

Not a new poster, rather an ancient one going on the number of posts you, yourself have made..as for commenting on any other thread, perhaps they are not interesting enough in terms of crofting or the law pertaining to!
The pig itself was incidental to the content.

wonder if it will end up in TESCO horse err i mean beef burgers

This sensationalised story has more than just a sinister thread to it . You may find to your own cost some day that the law of the land in Caithness will not be there to protect and serve .

Whilst I agree that the Caithness police are not fit for purpose, I dont see the need for an in depth investigation into the death of an abandoned farmyard animal.
A complete waste of resources.

Incredulous use of words on some posts..the attitude leaving much to be desired, this is where the complete waste comes in..in the complete lack of empathy, of crofting, of land law and of rights, of both the human and the animal.

Here, Here Camor! Well said! But a great story nonetheless!

**special tartan** · 07-Nov-13, 13:00

Again I will say the pig was NOT abandoned . It was stolen and slaughtered .

New to Caithness.org forum but knowing Reay village people just loved Julie Smith's "fictional" story on 'e peeg'. Amusing and witty and cleverly written. Hope this story just keeps on going!
