    (20:34) The Department of Agriculture has confirmed that Irish farmers could face fines of up to €2,000 unless they provide pigs with toys.

    Under new EU regulations, pig keepers are required 'to enrich the pigs' environment,' to keep them happy and deter them from chewing each other.

    The items used can be straw, hay, peatmoss and novel objects, such as footballs or wood.

    A Department spokesperson says the ruling has been law since 1 January and farm inspectors will be monitoring its implementation.
    And there was I with my dirty minding thinking that they were on about the idea on Eurotrash to give pigs more "pleasure" when they were "making bacon" ;)
