Mud phobic pig

Although I originally intended to write a post for today that had nothing to do with animals, I stumbled on this and couldn’t resist: a pig that supposedly suffers mysophobia, fear of dirt, and has been given Wellies to overcome her issues.

The BBC Article explains that the piglet was afraid of wallowing in the mud, leading her owners to fit her with Wellies, overcoming the problem. Andrew and Debbie Keeble own a sausage company but no longer plan to slaughter Cinders, the mysophobic piglet.

  1. That’s amazing. Amazingly cute. By being a failed pig (it’s hard to argue she isn’t) she has saved her own life. Wow.
