So how did the piglets get there? Where's the mother? Were they dumped?

If there's a way in, there must be a way out.....

Damb the selfish, irresponsible mother. When is Japan going to open more of those baby hatches like the one in Kumamoto?

I have a really good inoshishi receipe for a stew that came from the mountains on Izu hanto.

Maybe Sarah Palin can come and blast them from a helicopter now that she's free.

No National Wild Life Organizations to trap...provide vet care...and release the young piglets back into their habitat or location further away from human ????

It's been a running problem for years in Kobe, which is fronted by the sea and built half-way up the mountains there. Sows bring their piglets through the neighbourhoods expecting scraps from the people. The mountains are pretty barren with little or nothing for them to forage through the winter months. If the piglets have got separated or the mother has been killed, then their lives are in danger.
