It's another Daily Mail item from xoB. These irresistable guys are artists, according to the full story...

Well as long as it's volunteer, and for charity, I guess there's nothing wrong with it.

Not bad work.

That's the cutest freaking thing I've seen in a long time! I will forgo the food jokes.

Pretty Darn Cute!

(the pigs, not the paintings)

Pig on the left, "Hey, don't handle the merchandise!"
Pig on the right is just enjoying it.

Instead of the painting, I'd rather have a photo of the pig that painted it.

I wonder what it would cost to have them paint my house.

little piglets are FAR cuter than honkin' hogs.

and they are filthy animals who will eat anything, and pork does not digest well in the human system. I try to avoid pig products for that reason.

(sobs over the smell of frying bacon)

Awe that is too f-ing cute.

"Their miniature pigs have been creating works of modern art which sell for up to £16 each and have so far raised more than £150 for the Farm Crisis Network charity. "

Those pigs're getting ripped off if that's all they're making on their paintings. There's a turtle in Connecticut that sells paintings on eBay for MUCH more than that! http://www.turtlekiss.com/

Ok, I'll quit with the Pulp Fiction references now. Sorry, but I love a good chance to quote me some PF. :3eye:

Disagree!

They're not filthy - they use mud to cool off, protect them from the sun and insects. Pigs can't sweat you know.

Also they don't eat "anything" given the choice, although they will eat what is provided in captivity. Which is why I believe free range pig meat tastes so much better than factory farmed - sausages, bacon, pork all have a stronger, more robust taste when pigs are allowed to forage naturally.

I'm a pig fan.

mmmmmmmmmmmm........ bacon.

Baby pigs are adorable...

Nope--these are art pigs.

Just so you know, there's NO WAY I'm going to open the "fart pigs" thread. Just. no. way.
