Paris Hilton has joined the latest miniature pig craze, paying $4,500 for her own "teacup" pig from a breeder in Oregon, according to TMZ. The animal rights group PETA is not happy about Paris' latest pet acquisition. TMZ states:

PETA has unleashed a brutal attack against Paris Hilton for buying a pet mini-pig recently, claiming she's setting a "wretched example" by treating animals like they're "as disposable as her friends and fiances... The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she's paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren't either."
