Hilton, who is known to be an animal lover, has upset PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), a militant organization that fights against the abusive exploitation of animals.
According to the group, Hilton is not setting a good example for her fans by adopting a pig. For PETA, Hilton’s animals, her Chihuahua, ferret, and kinkajou, are not objects she should be parading around with.
Hilton’s baby pig, who is named Princess Piglette, belongs to a breed called Royal Dandie, a breed of the smallest pigs in the United States.
Paris Hilton is currently in the spotlight with her television show, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, which began its second season in June.
