A rescued pig adopted from a shelter ended up as a meal for the household that adopted her.

The pig was adopted from a location for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. The new owner signed a contract not to kill or eat the pig upon adoption. Despite that, the owner won’t face legal consequences, the CBC reported.
