The RSPCA took Bob Skinner's 20-year-old Pig - called Mr Pig (right) - away from the carpenter's home in Dorset and killed him in secret, only telling the distraught owner days later. They then accused Bob (left) of animal cruelty and applied to court to have him barred from keeping animals in the future. Today, with Britain's best-loved animal charity accused of bullying tactics and turning into a political pressure group, Bob feels vindicated, but remains heartbroken. Mail.
