I, for one, would love me some Pork Chop!
Debbie put on a little weight lately?
Punch line:
Don’t want to eat a perfectly good pig all at once…
“We’re gonna need a bigger litter box.”
Pork Chop and Bacon! I’ll “adopt”.
My favorite sports bar had 2 pigs out back that ate our leftovers. During football season they had a big feast for their regular customers.

Sounds like she lives in a residential neighborhood, so if she wants a pet, she should get a canary or a hamster.
Should have just told ok you don’t like it.
Fine I am just going to eat it.
I’m not seeing a problem here regarding the pig’s weight.....
between 100 and 770 pounds
How Much Does a Pig Weigh? In general, pigs are 35 to 70 inches (90-180 cm) long and weigh between 100 and 770 pounds (45 and 350 kg). However, domestic pigs are put into three main categories. Large-framed lard types have thick layers of fat and usually weigh at least 220 pounds (100 kg).
Looks like that jurisdiction has too many police.
This is clearly a case of mental illness. It is not normal for a grown woman to have such an attachment to a pig. People do so many stupid things when it comes to animals. They see cute little piglets and decide they’d make fun and attention-getting pets.
Two years later, the big pig is growing rather nasty and breaking out of its fenced in area, and becoming more and more difficult to handle. Then one fine, sunny day, it breaks out yet again, your husband is away at work, so you call your dear brother-in-law to drive over quickly and kill it humanely. This was my daughter-in-law’s experience. She learned her lesson....pigs are farm animals, not pets.
An almost four hundred pound pet named Pork Chop?! Wow!
Is that “Pork Chop” in the black pants?
If you really want a pig as a pet, the best ones are Kune Kune pigs, a small breed from New Zealand. They grow to about 250 lbs., tops. Their muzzles are too short and upturned to allow rooting, so they’ll just graze your yard rather than tear it up. They stay amiable and good-natured throughout their lives. Ideal for smallholdings and families.
