Luxury pet pet accessories china’s pig laifu luxury life

Instead of cats, dogs, hamsters, aquarium fish, chinchillas, snakes and even chameleon or iguanas Chinese pet lovers buy pigs! Thus, 2 years ago Li Yuan decided to get a pig as a pet. She bought a Bama, miniature piglet, from a market in Beijing. Such piglet usually weighs 15 or 20 kilograms, or 33 to 44 pounds. “I found him looking like a lovely baby at my first glance,” said Li, patting the pig’s huge belly. “Oh, my boy, you are destined to meet me,” she remembers thinking at the time. Li has cherished the pig so much she named him Laifu (or “fortune comes”).

“Indeed, he brings me good business and a peaceful soul,” said Li, a merchant. Pigs symbolize fortune, and hence why so many Han Dynasty royal families were buried with jade pigs in their coffins. Now Laifu can be hardly called miniature, the pampered pig is overweight at about 150 kilograms. Li spends $800 a month to rent several basement rooms to house Laifu. Moreover, she hired two nannies, who massage Lai Fu with essential oils daily in an effort to help him lose weight. He also takes vitamins everyday. Li said that he also likes listening to music; particularly the songs of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou. Li Yuan never thought a pig could bring so much happiness and make friends so easily. “If you don’t like animals, how can you like people?” said Li.
