Pigcasso, the wildly talented pig who sold over $1 million of her paintings and was hailed “the most successful non-human artist in world history,” has died at age 8.
Joanne Lefson, the creative critter’s owner, recently announced the 450-pound visionary’s death due chronic Rheumatoid arthritis. Prior to her passing, the pig’s illness rendered both of her back legs lame, owing to calcification of her lower spine.
While Pigcasso had already shown symptoms of arthritis over the past few years, her physical condition rapidly deteriorated in September 2023.
‘By early October, both of her back legs had become lame due to the calcification of her lower spine aggravated by the arthritis; both incurable conditions directly linked with the manipulations and modifications that farm animals are subjected to on today’s industrialised factory farms.’
