Paris Hilton
Paris has done it again. She's gotten herself another animal. This time she's purchased a pot-bellied pig who will surely be tossed aside faster than last year's "it" bag when the skeevy socialite tires of her.

Pot bellied pigs are inquisitive animals who require a lot of care and attention. Paris has burned through Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous in the past, so there's no reason to think that an animal who will undoubtedly root through her precious Manolos will grow old by her side as her BFF.

Pot-bellied pigs were all the rage in the 80s, a decade that had some truly unfortunate trends, but Paris seems bent on resurrecting them all. It's one thing for her to rake up fashion violations like this, but it's quite another to make animals suffer. If we could have the ex-con arrested for being so uncaring, we would.

Ya I would definately arrest her for being so careless. Who takes care of all her animals?Did you know that she has a whole house devoted to the animals she adopts and then ditches.

Anybody out there watch the AMC drama "Mad Men"? The character "Conrad Hilton" was Paris Hilton's grandfather (or perhaps great grandfather). He is depicted expanding his hotel chain into a worldwide empire, which will eventually provide the wealth Paris is so accustomed to spending. The real Conrad Hilton looked so much like the actor who portrays him it's eerie, and the writers have portrayed his personality accurately. This was a man who was stunned that he could afford a 100.00 dollar Stetson (he was born poor). The Hilton family is relatively "new money" and they act like it. Hopefully Miss Paris will grow up someday and stop indulging every whim, but I don't count on it. In the meantime I hope she hires responsible people to care for all her animals and pays them well.

How do you know she will mistreat it? They make wonderful pets and she would have the room and the money to make sure it's well taken care of.

animals are not accessories, she evidently has a bad track record of collecting dogs.

In light of all her wealth, Paris Hilton should be vehemently prosecuted if she mistreats or neglects her companion animals.

I disagree with Peta on this one. If people view pigs as they do puppies then maybe they'll stop eating them.

And if Paris is the catalyst-so be it.

The novelty of Paris' new pet pig may wear off, but I don't believe the pig will be neglected and left outside in a broken down shed standing knee deep in her own filth. There are thousands of pet hoaders across the country that badly neglect their animals –they should be the ones to put a stop to.

Tom--She's notorious for getting animals on a whim--then abandoning them. Not fair to the animals, no matter how much $ she has. She can barely take care of herself, let alone the animals she casually acquires.

Paris is cold hearted !!on her show she watched a live shrimp get thrown on a habachi grill and fry to death it was sqearming and very disturbing how she just sat there and afteR a girl ran out all she had to say was that it was sad but they taste soo good,, what is this world coming to???

Unfortunately we know she will because every pet she ever had she has tossed aside like garbage.
The SPCA had to go and confisacter 15 dogs from her cos the limit in LA is four and she had 19.
When she gets exotic pets purchesed from pet shops she ends up dumping them at the pound, shes had a new tinkerbell every year for three yeras, she should be prosecuted normal people wouldnt get away with having her track record for compulsive buying of animals and then ALWAYS abandonment.

Tom and Dman? Are you both serious? First of all, she is not hot. She was born into money and has absolutely no talent at all. Secondly, no one said she is mistreating them, however, they are like diamonds or purses to her, just another accessory because that's what she does. Then, they will be tossed aside. She has no sense at all. She is really a dumb blond!!!

Pot-bellied pigs were the rage of the '90s, not '80s. At least get the decades right.

all animals have feelings and want love and respect, Paris obviously just wants attention
pets are for life, not just a whim

Posted by: anne westerman | October 16, 2009 02:29 PM

i just HOPE that paris will take kare of her dogs. I love PETA for caring especially that she has a record you never know but i do hope she takes kare of them Thank you PETA for caring

Posted by: Leonel | October 16, 2009 05:03 PM

Here's the main point. Paris is starved for attention. PETA is giving her attention. Why?

Let's get back to the big issues and forget pathetic Paris Hilton
