Obvivously this farm doesn't know a whole lot! Of course the mother pig was nasty, they are notoriously nasty if anyone disturbs them and their piglets! Why didn't they bond triplet lamb to a mom who gave birth to a singleton? It isn't easy (mama sheep are very baby specific) but it can be done sucessfully. Sad - they are taking the easy way out like so many human parents we all know! and giving the wrong message - bottles are OK folks.
