The Argentinian Pig That You Can Shear Like A Sheep
THE Sun wants its readers to “Meet the world’s first sheep-hog — a PIG with its own FLEECE.
“Scientists are baffled by the strange swine — which they say is a pig ‘at heart’ but with a woolly hide.
“The one-year-old is being raised on a ranch near the town of Esquina, 400 miles north of Buenos Aires, Argentina.”
Anorak welcomes evolution and hopes one day there will be a one animal-fits-all approach to farming.
With the right genetic input and some tinkering, we are confident scientists and the Swiss Army can produce something truly special.
As local Catriona Martez says: “Bacon and fleece all in one animal! If only there were more like it.”

Ah, that is just so cute. I want it.

And what was wrong with the old method - sheep?
September 15th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
How cute!! I would love to have one of those as a pet. Too bad they are probably going to kill it. That is terrible. Poor baby.

Is it kosher?

Salmon comes for a pink creature called a pig… at least it does in Argentina…
Good Yom Tov…

Porky Lamb is most certainly kosher.
The Kawakami Poodle most certainly is not.
Shana Tova!

LOL! One year, I got something that looked just like ol bacon breath here for Christmas. It was called a Chia Pet. You watered it every day, and it grew grass for hair.
I had to get rid of it after awhile, because my dog thought it was ok to urinate on it when I left it on the floor of my bedroom. Chia started to smell and I wasn’t sure at first who was peeing on the floor, Chia or my dog.
I love pigs. George Clooney has a pet pig that he walks on a leash when he’s not out making more “Oceans” movies.. I would do the same thing if I had more space in my backyard. I think they are real Q-T’s!

What is the beneficial purpose of that animal?
September 16th, 2007 at 6:45 am
I finally do believe the world has gone biserk for sure. Doesn’t this just make you wonder at whom you are talking too? All I can say is have your fun, but why not let the animals have their own life too.

How well does the pig cook? It might make an interesting delicacy.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:02 am
I would love to eat all these new strange breeds of animals that they are finding all over the world,YUMMY,I bet they would be TASTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 16th, 2007 at 7:05 am
I saw a similar animal at west berlin zoo back in 1975.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:09 am
Big deal, so it’s a woolly pig. Remember the woolly elephant and the woolly rhinoceros? So some old genes in his DNA got switched on. It’s not evolution, this is de-evolution. Think of the ‘werewolf’ disease in humans, old gene in the DNA gets switched on.
Then you’re covered in hair and your coffee gets cold while you shave….and shave…and shave.

oOOOOHHHH MYYYYYYY, ILUVSHEEP,,,BBBAAHHHHH.

I’ll bet with 11 herbs and spices it will taste like chicken!
September 16th, 2007 at 7:32 am
Surprise—–Hillary. It seems Bill likes “pigs” with four legs too. Better
dig through those FBI Files you’ve stashed to find out if porkers land in Mena. P.S. Sir Edmund gives his regards.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:34 am
I THINK THEY SHOULD BREED THESE SHEPIGS , THEN OPEN A BROTHEL FOR THOSE INTO BEASTIALITY!!!!!! I LUV SHEEP!
September 16th, 2007 at 7:38 am
Pig looks like the awful radio host from CoasttoCoastAm.com ,
George Noori.

You know, there is a Sporting - Fishing store in Montana that has, mounted on their wall, a large fish with a nearly identical fleece. This pig looks alive though, if it was stuffed like the fish, nobody would believe it wasn’t crypotaxidermy.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:45 am
IAMDICK, I beg of you please; from this point forward the the “Shepigs” must be referred to as “Shepigens” .
September 16th, 2007 at 7:50 am
Mr. Colonel Sanders, No need to beg, i agree,,, Shepigans it it is,,, I LUV SHEPIGANS,,,, IAMDICK!?
September 16th, 2007 at 7:54 am
they are doing genetic crossbreading all over the world, this is proof. Don’t be surprised when a dog with a human head pops up somewhere.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:57 am
You people are bAAAAD, STOP IT OR ELSE. HMMM PERHAPS A NEW FORM OF FUEL,, HMMM BIODIESEL?
September 16th, 2007 at 8:09 am
Jim, why are you worried about genetic crossbreading? Don’t you like eating out and getting hair between your teeth?
September 16th, 2007 at 8:11 am
Coast to Coast radio died the night Art Bell left the stage.
The show is run by the jester not capable with the ability to absorb ideas readily.
So roast the new pig, and eat him alive
