From the first post I assumed it's a pet, maybe not.

Pet or not, it deserves to have a companion of its own species. It is cruel to keep it in isolation.

It's one of the 5 freedoms of livestock welfare.

Thread title should now read I had a pig Phone call this morning, many apologies, could the pig be returned?...didn't really want to see him go in the first place, rash decision etc Pig has been returned....& I think may soon be UK bound Is their a record for the shortest period of pig "ownership" & will it still count if I put "experience of pig ownership..." on any future CV ?

When they see how much that will cost they may change their minds again.
I imagine importation of livestock makes dogs & cats easy.

Their initial reason for leaving the pig in France was for how much it would cost to take him with them
