Pigs and pumpkins go together 鈥� evident by the delight of Lucy, Happy Herd鈥檚 750 pound hog who was gifted a giant gourd after Halloween wrapped.
The Vancouver-based vegan restaurant chain MeeT decided to gift a 250 pound pumpkin to the Aldergrove animal sanctuary last week.
Tiffany Akins, a Happy Herd volunteer, told the Aldergrove Star that between Lucy and two other pigs, the whole pumpkin was devoured in one day.
鈥淭he next day, the pumpkin was completely gone,鈥� she said. 鈥淣ot a seed left.鈥�

The four-acre volunteer-run farm has more than 70 animals and provides what they call a 鈥渓oving and forever home for farm animals.鈥�
Akins explained that not only pigs love to eat pumpkins 鈥� their donkey, the cows, goats, and even their chickens have been partaking the the seasonal treat.
鈥淲e also got 600 regular sized pumpkin donations from people and farms,鈥� she added, noting it鈥檚 a great place to bring the autumn decor now that people tend to toss them out in favour of Christmas items.
