Sarah Palin has moved from attacking celebrities and defending Christian pedophiles to welcoming critters into her home.

Courtesy of Palin's Facebook page:

Family grows with a new critter! Meet Piper's newest - a micro mini pig she's named Penelope. Yup.

Interestingly enough Palin fails to mention that the pig was a gift from her almost son-in-law Dakota Meyer. Gee I wonder how that slipped her mind?

Of course like most decisions by this family, this is potentially a poor one:

Careful thought should be put into purchasing one of these micro-pigs. They are hard work as pets and require the same time and care as a dog. Their environment needs to be enriched and with moveable content – these animals originate from a forest where there would be ample space to rummage around and investigate with their snouts. They need lots of toys and really should have the company of a fellow pig. This all adds up in costs!

The article goes onto stress that these pigs are known to have deformities and that living inside of a home is a foreign environment and not suitable for their needs.

So if the Palins treat this animal with the same lack of care that they have treated their other animals..

...I do not hold out much hope.

However it should be pointed out that Palin does have some experience dealing with pigs.

Oh and by the way it looks as if Palin will be appearing on Hannity tonight so you know she is about to say something horrible and indefensible again.

I'll be joining Sean Hannity tonight on FOX News - if you want to tune in at 10 PM ET.

Of course that picture is misleading because we also KNOW she is not going to be in studio.
