Paris to PETA: Pig Better Off With Me Than as Bacon

Hilton escalates feud, says she treats 'pets like children'

Share

(Newser) – Paris Hilton is still squealing with excitement over her new miniature piglet—“It’s a girl!” she tells Us—but she’s not pleased with PETA, which called her a “wretched example” for treating her pets “as disposable.” Not true, the heiress says: “I treat my pets like children. I think it's a lot better for the pig to be home with me than be made into bacon.”

Wow, I hate to give this girl any credit for anything, ever, but she does seem to treat her pets like little kids. It's pathetic and humerous, and I doubt the pets like it, but it is better than becoming bacon. Reply

despite the pig trucks that used come into my cousin's neighborhood in the early am, slaughterhouse bound, and that by evening pm a stench enveloped the whole neighborhood, i swore of all things pork, i returned to bacon and all things pork. with the hype over veal, i have not eaten baby, emaciated and deprived calves since sometime in the '70's. at the height of peter singer's books i swore off all things beef. until i smelled a charcoaled broiled steak on a hot summer day. i admit i am a weak-willed hypocrite - but i still can't eat veal. i should know better and i do. yet i can't seem to extricate myself from a carnivore mindset. my failing, my weakness. good for paris for bringing home the pig and not the bacon.
