Kew Little Pigs, the Old Amersham farm known for its micro pigs and diverse animal attractions, has introduced new goats named Sunday, Rose, Comet, and Blitzen to the public.

This comes just over a year after the farm suffered a devastating overnight raid in October 2022, during which seven beloved residents—Ariel, Gabriel, Domino, Bacardi, Bailey, Violet, and Georgia—were stolen and never recovered.

The crime, captured on CCTV, remains unsolved, with the thieves leaving behind ropes used to tether the sleeping animals.

Kew Little Pigs owner, Olivia Mikhail remarked, "It feels like a terrible violation." Following the theft, the farm enhanced its security measures.

The farm's staff, still reeling from the loss, find comfort in the arrival of the new goats.

Olivia shared, "Welcoming Sunday, Rose, Comet, and Blitzen has really been a cathartic moment. We are still in shock a year on about what happened, but we are confident in our security measures, and know that the goats will have a happy life here." She emphasized that while the new goats are not replacements, they are filling a significant void left by the stolen ones.
