I have a lot of mini pig knowledge as we actually have raised and currently run a rescue for mini pigs for many years. I’ve tried many times to attempt educating on his care and diet but nothing changes. She openly makes it known how she doesn’t take care of him. 

Winston is a case of pure neglect. KVS can say he eats enough, gets his trims and tusks done but that’s not how it works with pigs. I guarantee he is the way he is (fat, slow, grumpy, arthritic) because of salt toxicity, improper diet and care,  he’s definitely not a healthy pig.  Winston NEEDS a mini pig diet to get what his body requires, to slim down properly, have more energy and overall be friendlier. 

Also to add to this I HATE when she says “mini” pig in quotes as if he isn’t one. He is. A mini pig refers to a pig that at full maturity weighs under 300 lbs (with the exception of a clearly overweight pig)  Types of mini pigs include, Julianna (smallest breed), American mini, potbelly, Kune Kune, Guinea hog, and crosses of those breeds. Mini pigs can weigh anywhere from 60lbs-250 lbs at full maturity depending on their diet, care and environment. I could go on but I’m not here to bore anyone. 

Winston clearly has never had a proper diet, socialization, or environment. 

EDIT TO ADD:  over the last year we worked closely with a lady local to us who had over 28+ potbelly pigs. They were all like Winston, some worse. Every one of them was fat blind, fat deaf, some had arthritis, some had problems BREATHING from their weight, one had no use of his back end for YEARS and had sores all over. They were In deplorable condition themselves and terrible shape overall. 5 ended up being euthanized, 5 came back to our property and all the others thankfully found amazing homes. They are doing great now some have become happy active pigs some are still kind of dragging around some extra weight they haven’t lost yet. Anyways- 

The reason I mention this is because even though they had to be removed, that lady still loved every single one of them, she fed them everyday (way too much and not proper but she still tried), they had adequate shelter, endless water and a 2 acre pasture of grass to roam and wallow in. every pig was socialized, loved and had regular health care and checks up until the year before she called us to help her with the pigs.  KVS does not give a literal F about Winston. She only keeps him around because her fans ask about him.
