L.A. County Animal Control to 'Dog Whisperer' Cesar Millan: Show Us the Pig


Before they wrap up a probe into allegations of animal cruelty involving “dog whisperer” Cesar Millan, Los Angeles County animal control officials want to see the pot-bellied pig that was attacked by a French bulldog mix during a TV episode.

Investigators also want the names of everyone who appeared on the Feb. 26 episode of National Geographic Wild’s “Cesar 911” show.

Then they will decide whether the canine-on-swine-related violence rises to the level of a crime, officials said Friday.

“We know what we saw, and if you saw the entire video, then you know what we know,” said Aaron Reyes, deputy director for the County of L.A. Department of Animal Care and Control. “There’s no question that what happened. A dog under Cesar Millan’s control escaped and attacked another live animal, in this case a pot-bellied pig.”

In a statement, National Geographic Wild does not dispute that the French bulldog mix, named Simon, attacked the pig during training. The dog reportedly bit the pig in the ear, drawing blood. Later in the episode, the same pig appears to be leashed to the dog on a walk around a pen in an attempt to train it to co-exist with pigs – which was a big problem for Simon.

But Reyes said context is important in investigating allegations of animal cruelty, which were lodged Thursday by an animal rights activist who saw the episode.

“The dog that was in question, that Cesar was attempting to train, broke away from him in the video, and immediately charged the pig. Now, what we’re hearing from the [complaining party] is that the biggest concern is someone had that pig, a male adult was holding one of those pigs, those rear legs, and holding the pig up, which made the pig squeal, which made the dog into a frenzy. And it immediately charged at that pig. And the dog attacked,” Reyes said.

More than 600 Animals Were Rescued from a North Carolina Shelter This Week: Among the Largest Rescues in its History


More than 600 animals were rescued from a North Carolina shelter this week in what one national anti-animal cruelty group said was among the largest rescues in its history.

National and local animal advocates teamed up with local police to recover hundreds of animals, including dogs, cats, horses and pigs from the Haven, a private, no-kill shelter in Raeford, N.C.

“These animals were betrayed by the promise of going to a place that is a safe haven for animals, and it is anything but that,” Tim Rickey, senior vice president of field investigations and response for ASPCA, said in a video posted by the group. “We’re finding lethargic and lifeless dogs throughout the property and the same thing with cats.”

In a statement posted Wednesday, the day of the rescue, Rickey called the operation one of the largest companion-animal rescues in ASPCA’s 150-year history. At the time, the group said it recovered more than 270 dogs, 250 cats, 40 horses and several pigs from the 122-acre property. That number has since risen: The group now says it rescued at least 600 animals.

The largest companion-animal rescue in ASPCA’s history came in 2012, when it recovered more than 700 cats in Florida, according to the Associated Press.

The shelter’s owners, Stephen Joseph Spear and Linden Spear, were arrested and charged with several counts of cruelty to animals and possession of controlled substances, the Hoke County Sheriff’s office said in a Wednesday statement.

“We’ve seen open wounds on animals, we’ve seen no water for the animals, we are seeing animals that seem to be malnourished,” Cpt. John Kivett, of the Hoke County Sheriff’s office, told a local news station.

Animals were kept in “filthy kennels, cages, outdoor pens and paddocks, many without protection from the elements,” the Asheville Humane Society, which assisted in the rescue, said in a Facebook post. Many had untreated medical issues, including “open wounds, severe upper respiratory disease and emaciation.”

The shelter faced public scrutiny for years, with local animal advocates even launching a Facebook page to document their concerns.

A September inspection by the state Agriculture Department found several problems, including inadequate water and medical care, the Associated Press reported on Friday. ASPCA became involved at the request of the sheriff’s office and the Agriculture Department, the group said.

Several hundred animals are already being housed at two 40,000-square-foot warehouses run by ASPCA, according to AP. There, they are receiving care from roughly 140 veterinarians, staffers and volunteers.

Despite the raid, the Spears still have some defenders. Nancy Moore, at whose home the Spears are staying, told the AP that the shelter always seemed well-managed.

“I think they have provided a tremendous service in terms of the community, and certainly for animals. I would say they have dedicated their lives to basically taking care of them,” Moore said.

And one volunteer told local TV station WNCN that she was shocked by the news and felt the shelter provided adequate care.

Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others


It’s time to take a look at the line between “pet” and “animal.” When the ASPCA sends an agent to the home of a Brooklyn family to arrest one of its members for allegedly killing a hamster, something is wrong.

That “something” is this: we protect “companion animals” like hamsters while largely ignoring what amounts to the torture of chickens and cows and pigs. In short, if I keep a pig as a pet, I can’t kick it. If I keep a pig I intend to sell for food, I can pretty much torture it. State laws known as “Common Farming Exemptions” allow industry — rather than lawmakers — to make any practice legal as long as it’s common. “In other words,” as Jonathan Safran Foer, the author of “Eating Animals,” wrote me via e-mail, “the industry has the power to define cruelty. It’s every bit as crazy as giving burglars the power to define trespassing.”

Meanwhile, there are pet police. So when 19-year-old Monique Smith slammed her sibling’s hamster on the floor and killed it, as she may have done in a fit of rage last week, an ASPCA agent — there are 18 of them, busily responding to animal cruelty calls in the five boroughs and occasionally beyond — arrested her. (The charges were later dropped, though Ms. Smith spent a night in jail at Rikers Island.)

In light of the way most animals are treated in this country, I’m pretty sure that ASPCA agents don’t need to spend their time in Brooklyn defending rodents.

In fact, there’s no rationality to be found here. Just a few blocks from Ms. Smith’s home, along the M subway line, the city routinely is poisoning rodents as quickly and futilely as it possibly can, though rats can be pets also. But that’s hardly the point. This is: we “process” (that means kill) nearly 10 billion animals annually in this country, approximately one-sixth of the world’s total.

The Acceptance of Mini Pigs as Pets is the Result of Misleading Claims that Can Truly Hurt Innocent Pigs


The micro-mini pig craze has exploded over the past few years. There are YouTube pig celebrities. There are "trendsetters" like Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton cooing over their tiny pigs. There was even a teacup pig appearance on How I Met Your Mother. But the acceptance of mini pigs as pets is the result of misleading claims (dating back to the 1980s) that can truly hurt innocent pigs.


Teacup pigs are really baby potbellied pigs

At first glance, it sounds purely adorable: a pig who will never weigh more than a human baby. But as the executive director of PIGS Animal Sanctuary Melissa Susko confirms, this isn't the case. "There really is no such thing as a teacup pig, micro-mini, Juliana, etc.," she tells The Dodo. "Miniature pigs are mini compared to a domestic farm pig that can reach 600-plus pounds. So-called teacups are actually potbellied pigs who are either underfed to stunt their growth or who are sold under false pretenses."

Potbellied pigs ( Sus scrofa domesticus) are wild boar cousins from Vietnam who are in fact miniature pigs when standing next to huge farm pigs (who can weigh more than 1,000 pounds) or even wild hogs (who can weight 450 to 700 pounds). However, potbellied pigs still grow to between 100 and 150 pounds on average — nowhere near small enough to fit into a teacup. In fact, the smallest size that is healthy for these little guys is around 60 pounds (though that could be underweight, depending on the pig).


They can breed when they are just 3 months old

To convince customers of their pig's minuscule size, breeders may invite them to look at the piggy parents. Don't be fooled, says Susko. Because these pigs "can breed when they are as young as 6 to 8 weeks old, the parents of a piglet may be piglets themselves." Therefore, she says, "their size is not an accurate measure of how large their offspring will be in adulthood. Potbellied pigs can grow until they are 5 years old and reach well over 100 pounds."


Keeping pigs that small is simply unhealthy

Some breeders inbreed their pigs to try to achieve a smaller size, but that produces a host of health issues resulting from reduced genetic diversity, such as squished snouts, which cause breathing problems later in life. And breeders often instruct buyers to feed their pig a diet that amounts to starvation.

Susko says her sanctuary takes in numerous pigs turned in by people who said they "were told by the breeder that the pig will only get big if you feed him too much. Many pigs come in malnourished and emaciated. Underfed pigs also suffer from weak immune systems, sensitive skin and hoof problems." Indeed, underfed pigs — like too-little Wilburt here — tend to come with a host of health problems caused by malnutrition. Wilburt was fed guinea pig food to keep him small, but after being surrendered to a shelter, this curious 2-year-old is on a more appropriate diet of fruits and vegetables.


And it makes them unhappy

Potbellied pigs need other piggy friends and lots of space to roam — otherwise they can become depressed or angry. Pigs love to root, dig, roll in mud and splash in water. Their intelligence makes them exceptionally curious animals who will probably get into some trouble when they're bored, just like a toddler, and they can get territorial and moody, too. Pigs simply being pigs is oftentimes enough of a reason for teacup pig owners to abandon their pigs or surrender them to sanctuaries like Best Friends Animal Society or Pig Placement Network.

The Dodo reached out to Janette Reever, the Humane Society's deputy manager of animal fighting response for the Animal Rescue Team, for comment on the pet pig craze. Between her former job as an animal control officer, her current position at the Humane Society and her active volunteer work at PIGS Sanctuary, Reever says she has "seen firsthand countless pigs that were surrendered to shelters, rescues, and dumped because the 'teacup' pig grew to 100-plus pounds." Reever shares her home with two such rescues from PIGS Sanctuary — Annabelle and Arnold (pictured below) — and she "can attest to how smart they are, how closely they bond to their families and the specialized care they require."


Keeping pigs is more expensive than you may think

Because customers expect these piglets to stay tiny, they can't possibly imagine the mountainous costs associated with keeping a fully grown potbellied pig. As Susko puts it, "Many people think they are buying a teacup Yorkie and end up with a Saint Bernard. Not many people can handle a 100-, 200- or even 300-pound pig in their house."

There's the initial price of the pig, which may be several thousand dollars, the proper food (no dog or cat kibble), the space needed, the vet bills (finding a good vet for these piggies can be almost impossible), sterilization costs and the expenses for a qualified pig-sitter if the humans go out of town and don't take their pal along.

They also may be illegal


No matter what teacup pig purchasers may think or how small their pig may be, in the eyes of the law, these little pigs are livestock — just like farm pigs or cows. Many local governments outside of farm country forbid the keeping of livestock, so it might be illegal to keep these pigs as pets, even if you do have the money and the ability to care for them.

Unfortunately, the prevalence of misinformation about the care of these complex creatures means that most teacup pigs live only about five years, even though "the average life expectancy for a potbellied pig is 12 to 18 years," according to Susko. "We've had some that barely made it past two years of life."

And their popularity doesn't seem to be waning anytime soon. "I have been at the sanctuary since 2002 (going on 13 years) and have worked with well over a thousand pigs during this time," Susko says. "We get an average of 30 requests a week to take in pigs that people have purchased under the assumption that they will be micro or teacup pigs. When the pigs start growing, they call us. We have 120 potbelly pigs here at PIGS and 85 percent of them have been pigs that people bought without doing their research and fell for the teacup pig myth."

Don't be "pignorant" — find more information about "teacup" pigs here. When you see photos or videos tagged "teacup" or "micro" pig, remember that many of these pigs have a hard time finding a forever home after they no longer fit into that teacup. "It is an unethical industry," cautions Reever, "and the victims are the pigs."

Instead of an actual pig, why not gift a pig sponsorship this holiday season? There are also plenty of opportunities to donate to shelters that provide the proper care for abandoned or surrendered pigs.

Woman Climbs Down in Manhole and Stays Until Authorities Come to Rescue Her Pet Pig


Latoria Middleton of Atlanta has raised and loved her pet pig since he was just a week old. From just a tiny, bottle-fed piglet to a full-grown hog that loves Reese’s Pieces, Rick Ross has lived with her happily inside her home.

But last week, the curious pig got loose. Middleton was heartbroken, and frantically set out to look for her pet. Luckily, her dog was able to lead her to a manhole, in which her pig was a little shaken up, but otherwise unharmed. Middleton then called authorities for help hoisting the 200-pound piggy out from this deep hole.

To her surprise… no one would come to her rescue. She says that the fire department essentially told her that there was nothing to be done for her pet pig, and that poor Rick Ross’ last days were to be lived down that dark hole.

Totally shocked and appalled by the community’s unwillingness to help out, she climbed down into the hole with her pig and alerted the media to this ridiculous situation. If it were a dog or a cat stuck down there, there’s no chance that the fire department would have left him down there. So why let a pig suffer?

While the fire department claims that they responded right away, it’s clear that there was some sort of injustice to sort out. Whether it was a miscommunication or not, Middleton is just happy that her attention-grabbing stunt finally got her baby to safety.

Pig Named ‘Pig’ on the Loose from a Farm in Detroit


Fridays are for farm animals. For the second week in a row, a police department in metro Detroit has rounded up a farm animal - this time it's a big pig!

The pig, named Pig, had somehow gotten loose and was on the run.

The Shelby Township Police Department got the call Thursday to a report of a pig running loose near 24 Mile and Wolf Drive (sweet irony!). The responding officers arrived, wrangled Pig and eventually got him into the cop car!

That was apparently the easy part. He left a huge mess in the backseat of the cruiser, because, you know, he's a pig! That's what they do! You'd probably be this happy looking too if you left that mess for someone else to clean up!

The good news is that the owner of the pig picked it up from the station and even cleaned out the police car.

The calls started coming into central dispatch at about 7:00 p.m. Thursday. A pig had escaped from her pen on 24 Mile Road.

The humor was not lost on Deputy Chief Mark Coil.

"I've heard them all," he said. "Pigs and pigs, pigs capturing bacon, what's for dinner.

"Shelby Township has that 'Ark-feel' - we seem to have animals at large of all types and varieties."

A dog pole was used to direct the pig into the police car where it made a mess.
It became a biohazard relatively quickly," Coil said. "Luckily for the department and the officers the owner volunteered and cleaned the car for us."

"I just want to say thanks to the Shelby Township police for getting the pig and not writing me a ticket for having poop in the car," said owner Brian Davis.

Davis said he plans on bringing coffee and doughnuts to the officers who helped return his prized pet.

Woman's Beautiful Lullaby To Her Sick Pig Will Make You Feel Better, Too


Bentley the piglet has been in the hospital for a little over a month now, recovering from an illness, believed to be meningitis, that has left him blind.

Adoptive mom Corinne DiLorenzo, the founder of Illinois-based EARTH Animal Sanctuary, goes to visit Bentley most days. And when she does, the trained opera singer sings an old Irish lullaby, the "Connemara Cradle Song," to her 9-month-old, 14-pound piglet.

"It just comes out naturally to me, when there is someone who needs comfort," DiLorenzo says.

Traditionally, the lullaby's lyrics celebrate fishing for herring. But DiLorenzo has changed the words a little, so now the song's about sailing with the herring instead of sailing with them caught aboard the boat.

"We need to start changing the way we view animals," explains DiLorenzo. Until Bentley is discharged, she'll keep going to the hospital, singing a version of the cradle song that she used to croon to her own son when he was a baby.

Home for Bentley, DiLorenzo, and her now 13-year-old son is a 7-acre farm in central Illinois, where DiLorenzo takes in primarily, sick, elderly and special needs animals.

"Mostly our sanctuary is for the unadoptables," says DiLorenzo, who bought the property about a year and a half ago. She hopes in the future to open a bed and breakfast and vegan restaurant on site.

At Only 6-Months-Old, Amy, The Pig is The Smartest Pupil in Her Dog Obedience Class


Though only 6-months-old, Amy likely is the smartest pupil in her dog-obedience class.

She only has to be instructed a couple of times before learning something new.

“Amy will work for lettuce. There’s nothing I can’t teach her,” says owner Lori Stock of the 45-pound pig.

It’s not only obedience training for Amy. She’s learning the obstacle course, with challenges including a teeter-totter, jumps, a chute and an elevated walk.

Canines in class occasionally glance over, perhaps wondering: “What is this new breed?”

After all, pigs snort and so do pugs.

Amy has learned to do things pig normally don’t do, like sit. Pigs prefer to lie down.

Stock says, “Amy is outgoing, affectionate and darn cute,” and she accepted her owner right away.

Joining a puppy class at Family Dog Training Center in Kent did not faze Amy.

The only requirement was she had to be housebroken, and she was.

Attending two classes a week, Stock also adds daily training. The house pet spends much of her day in a special-built indoor run.

Food is a constant teaching reward, including banana chips and string cheese.

But bacon treats are strictly forbidden.

USA's Ravenous $1.5B Problem: 5 Million Wild Pigs


(NEWSER) – In the past three decades, wild pigs have been spreading across America like crazy — to the tune of 5 million of the porkers in 39 states.

The pigs have been part of the landscape since the 1600s, when early settlers allowed them to roam; some escaped, though their numbers have long been relatively few and largely limited to the South.

Pigs Take Over Small Island, Swim Around For Food


There are two adults and several offspring. When Farrow or other pig supporters show up with food, the animals happily swim out to boats to chow down on the apples and carrots brought to them.

The most popular theory is the pigs were meant for a summer luau but the event never happened, and the pigs were apparently dropped off on the island.

This Portly Pig Was A Beloved Pet That Had To Leave Her Family: Thankfully She Found A Forever Home!


Pigs may start out small and cute, but people often don’t realize how large they can really get. This family raised Peggy Sue from a tiny piglet to a full grown pig. Sadly, Burbank California limits the weight of pets to 100 pounds, which Peggy easily exceeded. Her family had to find a solution, and it was equally heartbreaking and up-lifting.

See her lucky journey below!

Porcine Family was Rescued from a Trailer Park in Rural North Carolina Recently - Adopted and Taken to a 400-Acre Sanctuary in Western Montgomery County, Maryland


Poolesville, Maryland - A mama pig and her seven piglets are happier than -- well, at least happier than where they used to live, according to the folks at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The porcine family was rescued from a trailer park in rural North Carolina recently, and on Monday was taken to a 400-acre sanctuary in western Montgomery County, Md., that's home to more than 200 abused and neglected farm animals.

"Today, these pigs are going to start the first day of the rest of their lives," says PETA's Lindsay Rajt.

"They were discovered by two PETA field workers who were out delivering dog houses to neglected dogs," she adds. "There were big, rusty nails protruding from the wood that was around the facility that the pigs had to walk on. And the air was so thick with flies that it actually looked hazy."

Rajt says the pigs' owner was an elderly man who could not care for the animals any longer and was planning to send them to the slaughter house.

Now they are at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville.

"And we have about 200 rescued animals here -- horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens and turkeys," says sanctuary director and co-founder Terry Cummings.

"Initially we just took two pigs from that rescue," Cummings adds, "and then they told us one of the pigs had just given birth to seven babies and said they were unable to find placement for them, so we offered to give them a permanent home here."

"The pigs have reached their new and forever home," Peta's Rajt boasts. "So they can look forward to enjoying their long and natural lives here at Poplar Spring."

Millions of pigs are confined inside gestation crates—cages so small they're unable even to turn around.

The pork industry's leadership continues to defend the indefensible: Locking animals in these tiny, cramped cages. It's hard to imagine a more miserable existence than being immobilized day and night.

TAKE ACTION - Say NO to Cruel Crates for Pigs
Please join us in calling on the pork industry to get animals out of these iron maidens: write to the National Pork Board and let them know that you say “NO” to gestation crates for pigs.

People Are Having Their Pets Tattooed? Cute or Animal Abuse...You Decide




First, let me say that on my blog I post all types of stories about animals. I did not write this story but felt the need to share it with my readers. I can't believe people are doing this! I don't usually make comments on my content, however, in this case, as an animal lover I feel this is...animal abuse, and there should be a law against it!

What is our society thinking?...or are they! I hope these pictures are photoshopped as the original writer indicated.

Apparently, a new trend is getting tattoos put on your pets, particularly any pet that is hairless. In Russia, the hairless Sphinx is the most frequent tattoo victim. Yes, I said victim.

In the 1980s before the microchip was invented for identifying pets, it wasn’t uncommon to tattoo pets with an identification number, often on their inner ear or bellies while they were under anesthesia for another procedure such as spaying or neutering. I think animals should never, ever be put under just for a tattoo.

Note: some of the images may be photoshopped. Very hard to verify.


                                           Body Modified Dog - Thank GOD this one is totally photoshopped. I hope.



Cosmetic Tattoos - This poor Dalmatian had a pink nose, which is a failure in the breed standard. So his owner got his nose tattooed.


In the ear tattoos - Dogs are often tattooed in their ears, usually with an ID number to help find them if they get lost. But this whole image thing is new.



Sphinx Cat with Ink - By far the most common pet that gets tattooed appears to be the hairless breeds, such as the Sphinx cat pictured here. This could be fake/photoshopped, but it looks pretty much like human tattoos do.


                                       Jack Russel Belly Tattoo - So this poor dog got a Hello Kitty tattoo on it's belly.


Cat immediately post-tattoo - In this photo, the cat is still anesthetized following it's tattoo. I found several shots of this cat being tattooed while under, so I do think it's real. It's a beautiful tattoo. Just wish it was on someone that could give consent.



                                                                             It's likely these are fake...I hope.



Yes, another hairless Sphinx sporting what looks like real ink. That's a lot of ink for a little cat. I'd say it took 3 hours at least.



Daschund Belly Ink - This little guy has a tiny tattoo on his belly. Likely done when it was spayed/neutered and didn't take too much time.



                           Louis Vutton Pigs - Apparently, tattooing pigs is a HUGE thing. Seriously, google it. Scary.



                                                                                     Small Tribal on a Sphinx



                                                                Demon bat wings tattooed on both sides...sad!
