Best Friends Animal Society Responds to Pig "Tea Cup" Craze.

The current craze for mythical teacup pigs as pets will result in thousands of these animals ending up at overburdened sanctuaries, shelters and rescue groups when they outgrow their purported small size, according to Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends encourages people to do their homework before taking one home and to rescue the pigs from the many pig rescue groups across the country. Don't buy - adopt. www.bestfriends.org

Are irresponsible people the real pigs?

[sparkyloo26]

I thought that the pigs stayed tiny, I'm glad I saw this and got the truth. It makes me so angry that people are doing this to innocent animals and unsuspecting buyers. These poor pigs will get dumped by their owners when they start growing. It breaks my heart.

The way paople treat pigs in general makes me wonder, who is the animal? Pigs are gentle, loving and highly intelligent. They have a sense of humour, they are mischievious, they are clean and very emotional. If you can spare a few minutes out of your day, find a poem by Andrew Kirschner, "If Pigs Could Speak" and read it. It will change the way you look at pigs and their treatment in so called "factory farms" before they are slaughtered. It made me sick!

@BrazilianAikido Yeah, you sound like a real genius. Let's see here, Best Friends Sanctuary has operated for over twenty years, and has staff that have handled and worked with tens of thousands of animals, run conferences, placed and rescued countless animals, and so on ... BrazilianAikido? A 30-year old moron who uploads NFL and Lil' Wayne videos, can't spell, curses every other word, and talks all day as if he has brains. Another clown who thinks he's something, but is really nothing. Idiot.

Theese people are fucking stupid lol. Tea cups do exist, You need a special Licence to own one. AND ITS NOT the same licence as a pig licence. so theese people are fucking full of it. I'v had many tea cup pigs, as proven on my page with videos of them. I'v never had a tea cup big grow over 20 inches. Theese people are a joke and just want people to come take there pigs.

THESE MICRO PIGS AND MINI JULIANNAS ARE NEW BREEDS. just like dogs you can creat new breeds with dfferent breeding and genetics. that is what these little pigs are. pleas go to those site. they will explain the truth.

I am in the UK and many owners are not licencing their pigs, which is illegal and they feed them illegally kitchen scraps. They do breed them young and I have witnessed this. Too many in the UK are being abandoned. It is a scam. Thanks for the video.

My pig is still around 60-70 pounds and I've had here since march. I don't think she's getting any bigger. Maybe I'm just lucky.
