- Who are you?
- Why are you doing this?
- Because we love these pigs and feel that there are gaps we can fill to help preserve and promote them.
- Are you concerned this competition could be detrimental to other organizations and the breed.
- Who put you in charge?
- I put up money and time, and put myself in charge.
- We have the experience and the organizational skills needed for an undertaking of this enormity and believe this is the absolute best way for us to help to preserve these pigs for the tables of future generations.
- What happens when you fluff off?
- We are still involved in preservation breeding groups we started with in 1987, we are here to stay.
- That said, nobody lives forever. It’s our hope that this will grow to be a worthwhile endeavor and we’ll be able to appoint a successor in time.
- Regardless, the data will be compiled, organized, and available.
- Where is your owners, members, breeders, farms list?
- All that said, I want to register a pig with RWPP, how do I do that?
- Check here: Registration information, forms
- I did but I still have questions.
- Can I register a pig I don’t own?
- No.
- But you can request documented ancestors of your pig be listed so their pedigree will be as complete as possible
- I love what you are doing and want to help.
- Wonderful!
- I don’t have available funds, but I still want to help.
- Wonderful!
- Reach out to us with your skillset or ideas and we will put you to work.
- Why do your forms auto-direct to another domain/website?
- To avoid the cost of a second e-commercesite and because I found it easier to create forms with that builder.
- It’s not going to anyone else, I own both sites.
- I have questions or concerns about a pig I see registered with RWPP.
- We take all concerns seriously, but will address them privately.
- If you investigate privately, how is that transparent?
- Our process is transparent, we’re not going to air everyone’s dirty laundry.
- We deal in facts and all investigation will focus on those.
- Evidence we consider factual includes:
- DNA results, permanent IDs such as notching, tagging or microchipping, video.
- Still photos may need additional proof of documentation and/or historical context.
- Existing documentation from other sources may be considered.
- Sworn statements will be taken.
- Once our investigation is complete, if action is needed, it will be taken.
- If announcement’s or findings are needed, they will be published on the RWPP owners Facebook group, and a newsletter sent out to the email on file of all owners who haven’t unsubscribed from our notification list.
- I’ve read all this and still have questions.
- I have questions that I feel should be added to this FAQ.
- Regarding the official comment posted by the Red Wattle Hog Association Board of Directors over the Memorial Day Weekend 2022, and the ongoing spread of misinformation.
- In spite of our (*at the time) unwavering support of RWHA, the BoD felt compelled to post an official rant distancing themselves from RWPP, in short, decrying a relationship that we had not claimed, requested, or in any way insinuated.
- In the ensuing conversations, a great deal of misunderstanding was exhibited among a flood of promotion of misinformation and disinformation, insults and mockery. There were also some specific questions I was able to pull from the thread before it was deleted.
- While I don’t believe in airing dirty laundry, I’m leaving this information here for people who may be confused by misinformation that has been spread about this .Org, have honest questions and concerns, and are interested in the truth.
- * I have since left the RWHA, due in large part to ethics guidelines and due process being removed from their bylaws.
