Pigs As Pets – Chasing Frames

On this episode of The Chasing Frames Show, we get a chance to spend time with some VERY smart, sweet and affectionate beings: Pigs!!!

There has been an extraordinary rise in the popularity of “tea cup pigs” and “mini pigs”. It is a false label created to market pet pigs.

As a result, it has also led to a MASSIVE increase in abandoned full-grown pigs.

We learned from people whose lives are focused on rescuing these abandoned animals. We also visited a couple of lucky ones who are now peacefully living in their very own home.

Thank you so much to The Blind Spot Animal Sanctuary for their amazing efforts. While we visited there, we got to meet a lot more animals than just pigs – that included sheep, chickens, peacocks, horses, goats and…my favorite…DONKEYS!
