Joey, the Beloved Pet Pig: A Plea for Mercy". In this heart-wrenching print captured in November 1949, we see Joey, the adored pet pig belonging to Mr. Arthur Ratcliffe of Ecton, Staffordshire. Joey has become a national sensation, receiving an outpouring of fan mail from compassionate individuals across the country who are pleading for his life to be spared. At just 20 months old, Joey is already an impressive sight. Weighing a staggering 600 pounds and measuring six feet long and three feet high, he embodies strength and vitality. However, despite his gentle nature and undeniable charm, tragedy looms over him. According to Mr. Ratcliffe himself, Joey's fate is sealed due to government regulations enforced by the Ministry of Food. As part of a food allocation program during these post-war years where resources were scarce, it has been mandated that Joey must be slaughtered for bacon production. As they take their final walk together through their beloved countryside surroundings in this poignant image captured by Mirrorpix photographers on Memory Lane Prints collection; one can't help but feel the weight of sorrow hanging heavy in the air.
