A veterinarian was called Jan. 27 after it was discovered that Theo’s back legs had failed, the result of his massive size.
Theodore, a beloved rescue pig who spent his last years A Home for Hooves Sanctuary in Duncan, has died.
Most domestic pigs are slaughtered before they are one year old so do not grow to such a large size, said Singleton, who estimates Theo was six to 10 years old. “The individual who had him just didn’t want him back because I guess he kept getting out,” Singleton said Thursday. A veterinarian was called Jan. 27 after it was discovered that Theo’s back legs had failed. Singleton said it is not unusual for pigs’ legs or back to go because they are bred to be so heavy. The decision was made to put him down.
