And Pig Makes 15 for Octomom?

A recent article on UsMagazine.com notes that Octomom Nadya Suleman is considering adding another member to her brood.

No, she's not thinking about having any more babies (at least as far as we know). She's considering bringing a pig into her home.

Actually, into her home isn't quite correct. She wants to buy a pig, put a diaper on him or her, and have him or her live outside—because of the smell.

Pigs are intelligent, social creatures with complex needs. Throwing such a sensitive animal into a mix of 14 kids who won't understand him or her—and expecting him or her to live outside—is no way to treat a family companion.

So, we've written Nadya to ask her to reconsider her plans. Instead of adding another mouth to feed, we hope that she'll focus on the 14 that she already has.

And if compassion doesn't change her mind, hopefully the fear of pig flu will.

Where can I buy one of those PETA red shirt Nadya Suleman had on? At first I thought it was cruel that PETA would use Nadya that way when she's just trying to live right take care of her kids and pay her bills without being a burden on anybody. I thought why not just help her no strings attach. But in the end Nadya and PETA both benefited. Good job PETA you step in where no one else would you and Dr. Phil to help Nadya and her kids that's a good thing imo.

with 15 kids you have 0 times to give to a pet... I have 1 kid and 12 animals 7 cat 1 that I'm catsitting for a year 3 that will go to good famillies as soon as they are old enough which are the babies of the cat I'm catsitting which pisses me off quite a bit I could have used these families for rescue cats!!! 1 dog 2 degus 1 mouse and 1 squirrel that we will set free as soon as he is old enough to live on his own and the idea of adding even 1 more being to my family seems completely ridiculous and we are 2 adults taking care of all those little ones... For god sake cant this woman realise that you CAN stop growing your family?

So who will pay for this pig? The State of California? Who does she think she is? Some sort of empress who commands people to do her every wish? Absolutely no one should sell her a pig or a dog or a cat or any other animal. This Octomom is a freak of nature and needs to be locked up in a psychiatric ward.

Is there an animal cruelty news areana that cares about large scale localized issues? Peta covering this garbage is really turning me off coming here. What next? Lindsey Lohan blows her nose too close to a Panda?

Are you kidding PETA? Seriously? "fear of the pig flu"?! Not only is this article asinine and completely pointless but you're 100 incorrect in referring to the H1N1 flu virus as the "pig flu". First there is no case of this particular virus being found in a pig at all and secondly the virus is a HYBRID of human swine and avian components. Honestly it's disgraceful that you allow people who are uneducated about the way animal agriculture REALLY works to believe you and follow you so blindly.

By what I've read in the paper lately about this idiot she should definitely buy the pig and have it take care of the kiddos and have here retarted a stay outside. Pigs are far more intelligent than this moron and we definitely take better care of her kids. What an idiot! Makes me want to move to another country!
