Yo! PETAites, the suckling pig in Madrid is to die for.

Anyhow, any pig farmer will tell you that there are any number of piglets squashed under the sow or die during or just after farrowing to satisfy this dude's needs.

I wonder, does it squeal when you drop in a coin?

Fortunately, 3 lbs of bacon doesn't cost 2,500 pounds Sterling, as the piggy bank does (without shipping and handling). Wonder if it has a plug on the bottom to get your change out when it's full, or do you just cut the carcasse's head off? :coolgrin:

the plug is under the tail, that is where the hole to empty the piggy's tummy is dan.

I would love one of these...haha. Not as good as the dead mouse computer mouse, but still quite entertaining. Plus, you'd get to see all those horrified looks 🐛 from guests. 😊
