“If you don’t want your kid playing with a pig toy, simply throw it in the bin. Other kids should not have to suffer.” Netmums’ founder Siobhan Freegard said: “Removing pigs from farm sets is like introducing ‘Baa Baa White Sheep’ and calling Christmas ‘The Winter Holiday.’ Please let common sense prevail.”
Alec Suttenwood, chairman of the Anti-Political Correctness group, said the ban was “ridiculous.” He added: “Pigs are kept on farms – it is a fact of life.”
ELC said: “The decision to remove the pig was taken in reaction to customer feedback in some parts of the world.”Stying put … Goosefeather Farm set with a pig in place
But after The Sun intervened ELC admitted it made a pig’s ear of the episode and said the porker will return.
A spokeswoman said: “We recognise that pigs are familiar farm animals – especially for our UK customers.
“We have taken the decision to reinstate the pig and to no longer sell the set in international markets where it might create an issue.”
