Rosangela dos Santos Lara went to market and bought a little piggie as a pet, but then it grew and grew and grew.

Now age 3, Lilica the sow weighs in at 250 kilograms and gets through five kilos of fruit and vegetables a day plus animal feed, eating away much of Rosangela’s tight household budget.

She says the seller tricked her, but Lilica still sleeps on a mattress in the bedroom that the 50-year-old teacher shares with her husband Nelson, an unemployed fisherman in the Brazilian coastal town of Peruibe near Sao Paulo City. “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.Selling Lilica for meat would give her family’s finances a major boost, but Rosangela isn’t interested.Subscribe to our regional newsletter
