shoutout to paris hilton for not abandoning her ‘micropig’ 

when it turned out that it was a normal piggy who grew up to be a big fat fatty piggu

Actually that’s pretty standard size for a micro pig. Pigs are ENORMOUS, dude. The average pig on a farm is 7 feet long and over 700 lbs. A normal pig would be much bigger than Hilton.

EDIT: This is a photo of the world’s smallest recognized breed of pig, the kune kune. I’m sorry cartoons lied to you all.

This is the pot bellied pig, another famous “small” breed.

This is your average adult pig.

Big ole’ pigs.

Reblogging because I feel so misinformed about pigs right now. My life is a lie.

The kune kune is from New Zealand (I’m a New Zealander, we have a genetic compulsion to point out when things are from New Zealand) and its name is Maori for “round and fat.” But yeah, people haven’t bred pigs to be really SMALL small because really SMALL small pigs wouldn’t be very useful for the main purpose for which people have historically kept pigs, pork.
