The 3-year-old Colin was lucky to escape after twice being sent by the previous owners to the slaughterhouse due to errors in the paperwork. Just before being sent to the abattoirs for the third time, she was rescued by a farmer and taken to The Farm Animal Reserve in Evesham, Worchester, Massachusetts, where she met "girlfriend" Gloria.

When they start fighting, they never But we just dropped Colin into the same stall with Gloria and they got along well, Colin could live with any pig but Gloria was a bit overbearing and Colin knew his position very well , " Janet Taylor, The CEO of the reserve, share.
