New
York
(ANI):
Singer
Jessica
Simpson
has
been
blasted
by
animal
rights
group
PETA
(People
for
the
Ethical
Treatment
of
Animals)
for
her
desire
to
purchase
a
pet
pig.
The
singer
posted
a
message
on
Twitter
revealing
that
she
wanted
a
pig,
but
questioned
whether
she
would
have
to
give
up
eating
the
animal.
"I'm
thinking
about
getting
a
pet
pig.
Does
this
mean
I'll
have
to
give
up
pork?" she
wrote.
Simpson's
comments
were
quickly
picked
up
by
PETA,
who
slammed
her
for
wanting
an
animal
as
an
'accessory'.
"Pigs,
who
are
smarter
than
dogs
and
every
bit
as
sensitive
to
pain
and
stress,
don't
belong
in
Jessica's
stomach
or
carted
around
as
her
latest
accessory,"
the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
PETA
as
telling
