Description Oink! Book of Fun for Pig Lovers by Renee Hollis

Pigs rock! And more and more people — including superstars such as George Clooney and Miley Cyrus — have discovered all the delightful characteristics that make them such endearing pets. Pigs are smart, they can learn tricks, they’re actually incredibly clean, and they’re communicative, social animals.

Oink is a celebration of these wonderful creatures and the perfect gift for anyone who has ever fallen under a pig’s spell! Featuring memorable quotes from people such as Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, John Howard, Shelley Duvall and A.A. Milne, each accompanied by a beautiful photograph, this is a book that’s guaranteed to make you smile.

My Thoughts Oink! Book of Fun for Pig Lovers by Renee Hollis

“Pigs are smart little creatures. They just need love.”- Shelley Duvall

When I was younger, I use to like to walk through the livestock exhibits to say hi to the animals.  I would try to get other kids who made fun of the large pigs, stop.  They would not, they would say things like “they are going to be dinner soon anyway.” Or “but they’re so fat!” Like it was the pigs fault they were over fed to fetch a larger price!  It still makes me furious and saddened to this day!

When Exisle Publishing reached out to me asking if I wanted a copy of ‘Oink” for review, I couldn’t say no. This book respects pigs as they should be respected!  Contrary to what so many people believe, pigs are quite intelligent and make wonderful pets, if you have the room.

I do wish the author would have cautioned readers about getting a pig as a pet.  For one thing, I have heard of many times that pigs have been passed off as pot belly pigs or full grown pig that go on to grow much larger than they were told they would grow.  Take Esther the wonder pig in Ontario, Canada.  She currently weighs about 650 pounds.  By the time her owners (dads) realized how big she was getting, they were already in love with her.  Instead of shirking responsibility, they did a crowd funding and raised funds to build a farm sanctuary, Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary.  They also went vegan!  They are always looking for donations and volunteers to keep the farm going so please consider, if you can.

If you love pigs (not pork) you will love ‘OINK’!  It is packed full of wonderful photos of pigs and quotes.  Being a vegan due to my love of animals, this book is precious to me!  This book would make an excellent gift for pig lovers! 5/5 stars.
