Pig breeder defends Hilton
WENN, January 18, 2010
The woman who sold Paris Hilton her pet piglet has defended the star after animal rights campaigners blasted her for treating animals like "disposable accessories."
The hotel heiress added a miniature pig named Princess Piglette to her menagerie of pets after ordering the Royal Dandie from a breeder in Oregon last year.
Hilton's latest addition angered activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who branded her a "wretched example" to her young fans for treating her pets as though they're "as disposable as her friends."
But Patty Morrisroe, who sold Hilton the pig, has spoken out in favor of the socialite, insisting she is a responsible pet owner.
She says, "As soon as we took the pig to Paris they bonded. It was an instant thing."
