Micro Mini Pigs Are Fake

24/09/2023

Well pets n pals in the albany mall is at it again. Selling underage piglets, not even 4 weeks old, born August 30th. Piglets NEED to stay with the mother for at least 8 weeks for health and behavioral reasons. I approached this differently this time. Before I get into this I would like to say the store manager, didn’t get her name, young red headed girl, was very open to learning about them. As she told me “I’m only passing along info about them from what I’m told” so she is at no fault in the predictable demise of these piglets. She told me they sold the runt yesterday so hopefully it makes it. This is a horrible pet store! I get info passed on to me about them that is horrible. They are selling a pet that when born has a 90%+ chance of being rehomed. Almost always before reaching a year of age.

Careless greeders!

🆘🆘🆘 NOW! What I need is help from all of you, please share this post or at least the photos and what they are doing. Share share share and tag them, write on their page. For the local people of albany and surrounding area‼️ there’s something in this for you. The person that tags the most people that live in albany in a shared post (with Pets n Pals tagged), I’ll give you $50.00. The person who has the most shares from people who live in albany, I’ll give $50.00. If you are the most for both you get $100.00. Pets n Pals must be tagged. It’s cheaper to do this and stop the over breeding than it is to take one pig in, which costs hundreds more! And I can promise, out of the 42 we have, I know at least one come from a pet store. Possibly even this store. What’s more important tho is the health of these pigs. These breeders are not educating their employees or buyers, they are just making a dollar. Thank you!!!

EXCELLENT report on the problem plaguing the pig community.. please share!!

When you hear the words micro, teacup, nano, or pixie you wouldn’t really think of pigs. Those are unrealistic marketing terms used to sell adorable mini pig...

Even though the title of Smallest pig was revoked after the Guinness Book of World Records learned the truth about starvation being the only way to achieve a micro pig - AZ Micro Minis is STILL blasting this lie all over their social media accounts and using it as a marketing tool more than a year later, to promote and sell her pigs under false pretenses... PLEASE help us spread the word... Get this woman out of the business of starving and slowly killing pigs.

Do you guys remember Lucy? This time last year she was 20 lbs and close to death.. we all held our breath and prayed hard this beautiful girl hadn’t given up her fight yet and her organs hadn’t failed beyond the point of repair - Can you even believe this is the same pig?! Beautifully healthy and happy! ❤️❤️❤️

To date this is the largest single case of hoarding followed by rescue in the state of Georgia. Hopefully it will never happen again. Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary needs our help. Taking in 100 pigs at once is no easy task.

Thankfully people are learning the truth

Teacup pigs are cute, but do they make good pets? Learn all about teacup pigs and why you may want to consider adding a different pet to the family.

True story

I really need to post this side by side picture of little Lucy - this is four months after her rescue date.. I wouldn’t even know this was the same pig..

Now, I am under no illusion that we have the actual breeders that spread these vicious lies about the starvation diet following our page (we have a few)... but I am REALLY hoping that all of you will take this picture and share the crap out of it - let people see what 4 months of a healthy diet, sunlight, fresh air, love and the ability to be a pig can do for the health and wellness of even the sickest of animals...

You remember Lucy - we were all holding our breath and praying Katherine K Wilson could give this girl the balance and growth she needed to survive this horrible beginning.. and look at her now!! I won’t say she’s completely out of the woods yet, long term liver and kidney damage, as well as her weakened heart, can take much longer to repair than her outside body, BUT she looks incredible and is growing!! Not only is she filling out but she’s gotten longer and that’s amazing!

Please help people understand that micro pigs do not exist - they don’t have to look as bad as Lucy did - if you see someone who believes this diet is healthy and right, please approach them, try kindness first, show proof, give resources and offer help..

We are seeing more and more breeders telling people that we are just out to get them, we are lying and we are jealous because they have a rare bloodline.. people WANT to believe there is such thing as a tiny pocket pig, they HAVE to believe they haven’t been scammed out of thousands of dollars, they NEED to believe they are not that stupid to fall for something so ignorant.

PLEASE GIVE THEM REASONS TO RECONSIDER!!
