Pet pig Buster was stolen, beaten, and shut in a burning car in Worthing

A PET pig called Buster was stolen from a field, beaten and shut in the boot of a stolen car which was set alight. The RSPCA is investigating the “unimaginable” cruelty which unfolded on Sunday night (April 26).

That night, three-and-a-half month old sow Buster was in a field in Kingston Lane, East Preston, with a mare who is due to have a foal.

The RSPCA say the pig was stolen and then beaten with a pole, tied up and shut in the boot of a stolen car before the vehicle was set alight.
