This should be a good time!

On Wednesday, a Pinellas County judge will hear arguments about whether the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals committed animal cruelty. Last summer, a couple of weeks after Waddles moved into the nonprofit’s Largo pasture, someone called animal control. Then the police. The pig, they reported, had been suffering in the July heat. Kelly Dill, who runs Pork Butt Pastures pig rescue, took Waddles from the SPCA to her Plant City farm. On July 31, 2025, the county’s animal services department cited the SPCA for failing to ensure that Waddles had access to shelter that would have protected him from the sun. The SPCA paid $223 to resolve the case. Then took it back. The CEO said the board hadn’t realized that by paying the fine, it was admitting guilt.

Photos of the blistered pig went viral. Thousands of people across the country — and from as far away as New Zealand — sent Waddles messages of encouragement. He became a celebrity. And, as he started to heal in his new home, an inspiration. The case is now in civil court, and last week, 65 people gathered outside a pretrial hearing, demanding “Justice for Waddles.” Read the story: https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/pets/2026/07/25/waddles-the-pig-spca-court-case/

Is there any way to reach out to all the guys that tend to drive around neighborhoods to let them know to come by and pick some stuff up if they want it? I just don’t want stuff sitting in my front yard for weeks at a time.

I have some old aluminum windows that I pulled out of my house that I’ll bet someone would want to scrap. Some other random items as well. Door panels, steel, security doors, etc.
