Micro pig farm gets ad ban for pet that's not so wee wee wee

Micro pigs may be the £700 accessory du jour for celebrities including Victoria and David Beckham, but there is a catch: they may not remain micro. An advertisement from a leading breeder has been banned after experts queried a claim that the pigs would not grow beyond pint-size.

The complaints centred on advertising claims by the Cambridgeshire-based Little Pig Farm, a purveyor of pampered micro pigs billed as getting "a big cuddle each and every day", with Classic FM piped through to their bedrooms.
