paul the walrus Posted September 9, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Somebody needs to get this pig and have it stuffed. Collectors go crazy for these animals with defects and pay the big bucks for them if they are stuffed and mounted correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
