It seems someone started out with a few pigs and just let them breed uncontrollably. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife was called in because of complaints of free roaming pigs. They found over 400 malnourished and neglected pigs.
Since then because of births the number is over 500.
The Pigs Advocates League and other rescue groups are now working to care for these pigs and find them homes.

There are pictures in this article that show how neglected the pigs were.

They are thin, they are dirty and they look distressed.
At first there was a deadline and the pigs were in danger of being euthanized. However response has been good and there are many people wanting to adopt the pigs. Hopefully all the pigs will end up in good homes. After all they have been through these pigs deserve good homes where they will be properly cared for.
