R.I.Pig: Pleasure, the Sequoia Park Zoo’s American Guinea Hog, Has Handed Away | Misplaced Coast Outpost

Sequoia Park Zoo launch: 

We’re unhappy to announce the passing of Pleasure, the American Guinea Hog.

At 15 years outdated, Pleasure was thought-about fairly aged for her breed and sadly in her older years had developed an inoperable mass that animal care workers together with our vets had been monitoring.

In the end, as her well being declined because of the mass, the choice was made to humanely euthanize. She was surrounded by animal care workers who scratched her stomach (a favourite spot of hers) as she went to sleep.

Pigs typically have huge personalities and Pleasure undoubtedly knew find out how to candy discuss, or sass discuss, her approach across the barnyard – she shall be missed.
