Police are seeking more information about dead piglets found near Lake Wendouree.
THREE piglets were found impaled on poles in high-pedestrian areas in Ballarat yesterday morning.
A member of the public came across the first dead animal while walking around Victoria Park early yesterday.
Police say the pedestrian notified the City of Ballarat of a piglet that was gutted and impaled on a pole in Victoria Park.
Council attended the scene and removed it, before finding two more piglets around Lake Wendouree.
At this stage it is not thought they were alive when they were impaled.
The piglets were said to have dog bites on them.
It is believed they were placed on the poles overnight on Wednesday night or early yesterday morning.
