A Piggy Bank Made from a Real Piglet?

The Winnipeg Humane Society called the "piglet bank" an "in-your-face trivialization of what was once a living being." The Cheeky co-owner Colin Hart, who intended the product as a joke, says he's been getting "hateful emails and death threats." Hart says he's priced the bank so high — $4,000 — that he probably won't get any takers, but that, if a buyer does come forward, he'll use a piglet that died of natural causes.
