A litter of piglets whose bacon was saved from a barn fire has been served up as dinner to the firefighters who rescued them.

The 18 piglets and two sows survived the fire in Wiltshire in February, which saw 60 tonnes of hay catch fire.

In a potentially controversial move, farmer Rachel Rivers thanked the Pewsey fire team by giving them sausages.

She said: "I'm sure vegetarians will hate this." The firefighters however said the bangers were "fantastic".

The pictures of their impromptu barbeque have since been removed from the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service's Facebook page.

That's brilliant, and to be fair I agree with it anyway, I think its far far too easy for people to forget that what they are eating was once an animal and I think its really important to know what you eating. I'm not a veggie in the slightest, frankly its not a meal if theres not a farmyard animal on the plate but I do think lots of people have lost that connection of associating what they are eating with the animal it came from.

Is that for real, or is it just...... pork pies??

I crackling myself up....it's 'snout' new, etc.

Mmm sausages, however roast suckling pig is pretty good too, plus you get crackling - almost like porky puff pastry if it's done correctly.

God some people need a slap. I'm all for proper treatment of animals and ethical farming, but FFS.

Yep I agree with looking after animals but this was a thanks the fire fighters won't forget. How can it cause offence though or sadness it's clear they got a good life. Some people do my nut in

It's a pig....it has no purpose for humans other than as a food source or for making wallets.

Can you even imagine a world without bacon??

PS....If you answered that last question "Yes" then you're a feckin' hippie.
