Bella Swine: Daily Mail Coverage

Florida family are left furious after buying prized pig Bella B. Swine for $5,000 at auction… before being told it has to be KILLED due to state law

  •  Meg Weinberger said she received the ultimatum from fair organizers Saturday after attending the West Palm Beach fair with her husband Eric Weinberger
  •  Weinberger said she had attended the fair with the hope of bringing back a live pig to live on her animal sanctuary, free to roam with other free-range critters 
  • While noble, the intent of saving the animal’s life violates a law that bars the sale of animals at a ‘terminal market’ – a term that refers to a seller of farm products
  • The auction that Weinberger and her husband won fits that criteria, spurring organizers to tell the pair they had to bring the pig back as meat or not at all
