Heartwarming video of semi-paralyzed little piglet Leon, who was destined to suffer a grim fate at the slaughterhouse but given a second chance in life by a rescue group.
Now he’s a happy, active little superboy Leon on Wheels!
Three-week-old piglet Leon Trotsky would have had a much different fate if he hadnt been rescued by a kind soul in late April 2014.
Leon was born on a free range farm in Australia and was originally destined to be slaughtered like all the other pigs on the property. However, not long after he was born, his injured mother fell on him, leaving him disabled with a broken and dislocated femur.
As Edgars Mission Farm Sanctuary reports, pigs like Leon who suffer such life threatening injuries have a grim fate. With a Code of Practice that advises a blunt trauma to the head can be carried out by persons with low skills as a no-cost means of addressing the problem, an injured piglets worth is little.
Thankfully, a kind soul heard about sweet little Leons plight and acted quickly to rescue him before he was sentenced to death and discarded. However, after realizing that Leon would need more specialized care, Leons rescuer decided to surrender him to a better life at Edgars Mission in Willowmavin, Australia.
Here, Leon has been receiving round-the-clock attention, love, and vet care things he had never experienced before. He has also received an amazing set of wheels to help him get around the sanctuarys vast grounds.
Since arriving at Edgars Mission, sanctuary staffs have been absolutely amazed at Leons spirit despite all his hardships so early in life. At just over three weeks of age, little Leon Trotsky has more spunk than most who are ten times his size and he has already beaten the odds not once but twice.
Watch this heartwarming video of cute and determined little Leon in action!
