Amersham Animal centre missing want their 7 stolen goats home safe

Kew Little Pigs in Amersham were victim of an overnight raid, and Ariel, Gabriel, Domino, Bacardi, Bailey, Violet and Georgia have been stolen.

On Wednesday (26/10) CCTV footage shows the lights of vehicles raiding the farm in the early hours.

As well as being caught on CCTV, the thieves left behind ropes that they had used to tether the animals, who would have been sleeping when the incident occurred.

Kew Little Pigs' owner Olivia Mikhail says that she is 'petrified' that the pet animals will be slaughtered for meat, and said that recently she has received phone calls from people asking if they had any meat for sale.

"I am absolutely petrified that they will be killed for meat, they are part of our family and I can't stop thinking about what might be happening to them.

"These are tame pet goats, and they have a happy life on the farm.

"We take security incredibly seriously so this is obviously a planned raid by someone who has come and seen what measures we have in place. It feels like a terrible violation.

"If anyone knows where they are please, please get in touch with the police or us directly. We just want them home."


Thames Valley Police are now investigating the incident, and are working with Kew Little Pigs to catch the culprits.

A spokesperson for the force said:  “If anyone has any information that may help this investigation, you can make a report by calling 101 or making a report online, quoting reference 43220481706.”
