A GOLD Coast radio station could face action from the RSPCA after attempting to make a piglet fly using helium balloons.

The RSPCA was inundated with complaints from the public and listeners after the Gold FM breakfast crew tied up to 200 helium balloons to the animal.

RSPCA vet Dr Anne Chester said the stunt defied belief as the animal was clearly distressed.

"Would they have done this to a puppy, a kitten or a foal - I think not," Dr Chester said.

"What on earth possessed station management?

"Why did they allow something so grossly inappropriate to go ahead?"

I suggest people google "stanford prison experiment" to learn how groups given unsupervised policing powers go rogue. RSPCA are a Stanford Prison Experiment with a money motive. RSPCA with warrants can seize pets and property, charge people and exhort massive fees and fines totallying over $300,000. Plundering pet and animal lovers for their wealth to support RSPCA activities and self promotion. RSPCA Qld spend $3million a year on self promotion.

Ban RSPCA not flying pigs. This response by RSPCA shows the extremes RSPCA will go to demonstrate their power and bully people who love animals and teach them tricks. Circus animals, and this pig, get a lot of attention and are well rewarded for their performances. It is becomming a crime to love animals and have them do tricks.
