Warning for pot bellied pig owners
It was recently brought to my attention that there are people out there who prey on classified ads for pot bellied pigs looking for a new home. These people watch for ads giving away these animals or selling them cheap and then as horrible as it sounds they eat them. I do not own one but I wanted to make owners aware of this.

I went to several exotic animal auctions and many of the people who bought animals there were only looking to stock their freezers and miniature goats and pot bellied pigs were often bought by them because they make good thanksgiving and Christmas dinners when guests arive! I was heart-broken that I could not buy more when they were selling dozens of young males for 5 or 10 dollars! (my car could only hold a few of them and I soon found out it is illegal for me to "harbour livestock or poulty" in the hamlet where I live)

That was my thought when I heard about this to. I can't understand how you could eat anyones pet. But as I keep looking into it I am finding out I am way behind on this kind of thing. Extremely Gross if you ask me.
