SAO PAULO — Rosangela dos Santos Lara went to market and bought a little piggie as a pet, but then it grew and grew and grew. “I bought her thinking she would be a mini-pig, but she turned into a giant animal,” Rosangela said, while tickling Lilica, stretched out in front of the family sofa with cats and dogs clambering around her. People call me crazy, but I just love animals.”Selling Lilica for meat would give her family’s finances a major boost, but Rosangela isn’t interested. “Someone offered me 20,000 reais ($3,600) this week for her for slaughter, but she is not for sale.”Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.
