Too many breeders are all about marketing, and this is a real problem. |
I about fainted when she came home with this pig. She didn't even like dogs, so I was shocked! Plus she lived in a suburban neighborhood that I knew she wouldn't be allowed to have it in.
Even if they are small, they are still pigs and this is another bad fad/trendy thing that has bad outcomes!
