A recent article on UsMagazine.com notes that Octomom Nadya Suleman is considering adding another member to her brood.

No, she’s not thinking about having any more babies (at least as far as we know). She’s considering bringing a pig into her home.

Actually, into her home isn’t quite correct. She wants to buy a pig, put a diaper on him or her, and have him or her live outside—because of the smell.

Pigs are intelligent, social creatures with complex needs. Throwing such a sensitive animal into a mix of 14 kids who won’t understand him or her—and expecting him or her to live outside—is no way to treat a family companion.

So, we’ve written Nadya to ask her to reconsider her plans. Instead of adding another mouth to feed, we hope that she’ll focus on the 14 that she already has.

And if compassion doesn’t change her mind, hopefully the fear of pig flu will.
