PETA Peeved Over Paris' Pig

Hilton's latest accessory angers perpetually pissed animal rights organization

Share

(Newser) – PETA has found a new poster child for its ire: Paris Hilton, who recently adopted a $4,500 miniature piglet. Despite naming the animal “Princess Piglette,” TMZ notes, PETA claims the "wretched example" treats her pets like “disposable accessories”—“as disposable as her friends,” to be exact, Digital Spy reports. PETA notwithstanding, the most important question is clearly: How does Tinkerbell feel about this?

Speaking of Tink, PETA’s statement goes on to note, “the chihuahuas, ferrets and kinkajous she's paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren't either.”

That's not a nice thing to say... about pigs -- they're cute, intelligent and I wouldn't mind having one around!
