Meet Pigcasso, a Hog With a Passion for Painting

18:00 GMT 31.03.2017 (Updated: 19:29 GMT 19.10.2022)

With a paintbrush in its mouth, this talented pig creates true masterpieces of abstract expressionism.

Joanne Lefson, an animal activist and founder of Farm Sanctuary in South Africa, saved the pig from a slaughterhouse in May 2016. She was first to discover the piggy's potential. Lefson supports Pigcasso's hobby not just for fun and pleasure, but also to raise awareness of the poor living conditions of industrialized factory farms.
