Nottingham Piglet Felicity Dodges Two Cars, Finds Sanctuary With Blind Cow
Piglet Felicity, barely five weeks old, orchestrates a traffic-stopping escape near Bothamsall, outwitting two speeding cars and a motorbike before animal enthusiast Carly Knott—who already wrangles 22 pigs—whisks her to safety. Trending search queries like “how do you catch a runaway piglet” and “can pigs really recognize faces” collide here, as Felicity lands at Brinsley Animal Rescue. “It was so lucky—I’m almost certain she would have been hit by something at some point,” Knott admits, holding her new accidental passenger.
Fresh from her dawn roadside rescue, Felicity is now hand-reared at Brinsley, set to bunk with Jemima—the infamous piglet born on a slaughter lorry and found on a dual carriageway. Curious minds ask: “Are pigs the most intelligent farm animal?” and “How do animal rescues handle piglets?” Felicity, brave enough to charge cows and ponies, spends most mornings oscillating between frenzied sprints and deadweight naps—a routine that would scandalize any marathon runner.
Felicity, a commercial white pig bred for meat, now lives among cows and ponies, her daily schedule alternating between wild half-hour stampedes and hours-long naps—rescue life’s peculiar brand of freedom.
