Just watching Fake Britain - people bought what they thought was a micro-pig and he turned out to be a proper, full size, thug of a pig who trashed their kitchen and barges his way through fences :o :o :o
And they still tried to keep him like a pet - in a terraced house with eight kids - woman telling how he grabbed her trouser leg and ragged it when she tried to stop him getting into the shed to get food :o

Not just dog people who fall foul of shysters :o another couple saying how they ended up building a conservatory for their pig :o
 
More to the point whats pig doing living in doors, wonder what the rspca and social services will have to say about that!!! Im not a clean freak but pigs are not the cleanist of animals, there are gonna be some BIG health issues soons with these mircopigs as the tend to be bred runt to runt.

Personally im a gloucester old spot and tamworth kinda girl...........


Why is that for a well developed country we have some serious dumb people out there.....
 
The woman is talking about pigs rooting through carpets and scenting all over houses :o :o :o

Hundreds if not thousands of pigs will be looking for a new home in coming years apparently, jeez, what is wrong with people, the 'must-have' new pet because you saw some brainless gimboid on the television holding one for three seconds (then handing it back to a production assistant...) and of course, if it's popular, get two with a set of reproductive organs and WE'RE IN THE MONEY.
 
Is it irresponsible breeders or stupid purchasers? Fair enough they weren't 'micro pigs' whatever they are, but even a small pig can do alot of damage and why the hell would anyone in a terraced house with 8 kids want a pig unless it is to keep the staffy x and the micro python company.

That's given me a brilliant idea. I shall start breeding earthworms, paint them green and black, and market them as micro-pythons - the latest, must-have, celebrity pet!

I'll be able to retire before I'm 30, you watch.:p

I want in on this- have paint!!! :)
 
Our neighbours have just eaten their 'micro pigs'. They were huge - I know they were huge as they kept getting out and coming down to the farm, it livened up the horses day no end! They didn't want to use leccy fence to keep them in - its cruel! Round here the micro pig owners are the same people that have things like alpacas. My OH, as a farmer, can't get his head around non productive farm animals at all, he thinks horses are bad enough!
 
Now steady on you lot..here speaketh the Founder (and only so far ) member of the Pig Liberation Front :D Always have had pet pigs,they`re very like bull terriers in character..at the mo we have three bloody great Red Mangalitzas..long curly coats and way bigger than I was told! And Cobweb,a little 10 year old KuneKune who is adorable.Kune`s have tassels on their chins like goats. NO we don`t eat pork,or any other meat in my case,and our pigs die of old age. Usually that is around 11 years,cos their back legs get arthritic. Olivia (deceased) had to have bute and peanut butter sandwiches in her last year..she was a Middle White, a lovely gentle soul with her turned up flattish nose and big bat upright ears. Gorgeous. :)

God forgive me - but did they take three minutes, in the microwave, obviously? :p

LOL! But no, there was so much meat they had to buy a new freezer.
Only redeeming feature was they were so tame, they would turn up at my back gate, I would entice them to a stable and call the owner who would walk them home.
