Meet Arnold
It is highly likely that Arnold was used in skin studies, as pigs are often subjected to third degree burns and other skin testing experiments. Pigs are very intelligent and social animals that have been used in research for centuries. They are used in a wide variety of research studies, which includes biomedical and agricultural testing. Pigs are purposely bred for toxicology and pharmacology studies, transplantation studies, dermatological studies which include wound and injury healing, and even plastic surgery studies. Pigs have become a popular animal model for research not only because of their docile nature and physiology, but because many people lack any emotional attachment and compassion towards them.
Arnold, like many other pigs used in laboratories for research, is very loving and friendly. When he was rescued, he was small enough to carry. Now, he has grown into a full-grown adult Yucatan, weighing over 250 lbs! Arnold would thrive in a home with other animals – he is very comfortable around pigs and dogs! Due to his size, Arnold will need plenty of space to play and roam. He loves all kinds of food, and especially loves human company. Could you give him his forever home?
*Arnold is currently located in Los Angeles, CA - transport may be possible*
