Oh, but it's so cute! Maybe it would make a good pet. Are you all experts? People don't necessarily get sick of pets, right? Pigs are intelligent and full of personality. Dad, are you reading this...?

I'd write them an email too saying its stupid if they didn't collectively appear to be such helpless dingbats. I have received Daily Candy emails for a long time and dingbattery is its raison d'être. Just get it for the 25% off discount codes and roll my eyes at the rest . . .

Potbellied pigs as Christmas gifts is the first step to returning NYC to the Wall Street excesses of 'American Psycho.' I'm all for it if it gets up out of this recession.

On the plus side a pot belly pig can easily fit on a Weber BBQ grill or in NYC apartment sized ovens.

Here are some good recipes.

Yum!

There always a Neanderthal on these threads. Need to show how they lack a pair.

I hope you weren't referring to me.

I gave a valid option for dealing with the beast.

We all get hungry.

@zodak: Oh and yes animals are child substitutes. Why wouldn't they be? Although these days the ease of adopting chinese or african babies might reduce pet adoptions rates.



I'm all for contributing to animal shelters. I do so every year. But avoid PETA as they are evil. You might as well give all your money to scientologists and get "cleansed"

Yes you hate PETA since you enjoy making cruel animal jokes. It is wrong and cruel to us animals as accessories and entertainment.

This is horrible. I just wrote them an email.

email. do you have it?

It's in the "email them" link in the text of the story:

Thanks!

Live animals as gifts? Animals are not objects for sale. sickening. Contribute some money to the many animal shelters in desperate need of funds. Now that would be the true christmas spirit

now people want to imprison pigs in their apartments? animals are not toys, child-substitutes or seasonal accessories.
