QUOTE:

STANDING up to my knees in mud in a Wiltshire field, it never occurred to
me that this would be the defining moment of my journalistic career.

In the middle of a freezing winter night, torrential rain soaked me to the
skin as I charged around in a pair of wellies alongside a team of
villagers and crawled through the undergrowth making oinking and grunting
noises.

The sole purpose of this rather undignified behaviour was to track down
two five-month-old ginger piglets that had escaped from an abattoir, swum
across the River Avon and fled into the countryside beyond.

...

Their incredible story inspired a wave of interest in vegetarianism, with
calls to the Vegetarian Society tripling. Sales of pork products fell in
supermarkets across the country.
