"I bring my dog to this dog park pretty often - I've never heard of a pig being here, but honestly, this is Bushwick: so it's not the weirdest thing I've ever heard,"
"I've definitely seen people bring parrots and just put them in the tree,"
""Mini" or "teacup pigs" are a misnomer used by breeders, and are either inbred and deliberately malnourished, according to National Geographic."
An off-leash teacup pig, presented as a service animal, has been running and socializing with dogs at Maria Hernandez Park in Bushwick, Brooklyn despite a city ban on pet pigs. Park visitors reacted with amusement and curiosity, noting exotic pets in the park and calling the interaction harmless if supervised. TikTok and Instagram posts of the pig went viral, drawing mixed responses. Experts warn that 'teacup' or 'mini' pig labels are misleading; such pigs are often bred or starved to remain small, typically grow to 100 pounds or more, and frequently end up in shelters.
