Petition Calling for the authorities to finally deal with Suzette Ferguson and AZ Micro Mini Pigs, the worst kind of unethical mini pig greeder in the United States.

To force the authorities to properly inspect her property to protect the pig hoarding situation (even having pigs living in her children's room.) To protect the pigs that are being starved and stunted on her property. To protect future buyers of making a very costly mistake of buying an unhealthy, partially starved and stunted piglet at an inflated price that will permanently have behavioral problems from being taken away from its mother too early.

The goal is for authorities to finally do something to improve the very low standards and unethical practices of the breeder that will hopefully improve the living/feeding/unethical practices to protect the innocent lives of the piglets health and wellbeing, as well as ensure the sows have the proper rest and heal time between litters.

Suzette Ferguson silences anyone who stands in her way. Maybe if there's a big enough reaction to this petition, the authorities will hopefully do something about the extremely low unethical standards of Suzette Ferguson and her piglet factory.

Please sign and share this petition. Let's band together and save those helpless, starved and stunted pigs at AZ Micro Mini Pigs and stop the unethical practices of Suzette Ferguson.

We have reached one hundred signatures which provides the necessary leverage to approach local animal control for a formal inspection request. I am now drafting the official letter to the department heads detailing the specific evidence regarding the conditions at this property.

March 7, 2017

We are approaching the one thousand signature mark which is the threshold required to trigger a formal review by local animal control officials. Please direct this link to anyone in your immediate network who can verify these breeding conditions for the enforcement agencies. A higher volume of signatories strengthens the legal package currently being finalized for submission.

As a mini pig owner myself I find this breeders morals to be unsatisfactory! It's because of people like this so many mini pigs wind up homeless because the owners were told the pig would stay under a certain amount. There is never a guarantee!!

It's pretty open & shut. Do your research, there is NO such thing as a Micro or Teacup. THEY ARE STARVED!! They do this to make money at the expensive of the pig. Put a stop to Suzette Ferguson & AZ Micro Mini Pigs. PLEASE save these pigs & future ones !!!! from this ABUSE !

Potbelly pigs can live 15-20years plus with the right care. This breeder tells you to feed only minimal food to keep pigs small. They end up dying in a year or two from starvation and underdevelopment from starvation! It's animal torture!

As a pig mom, I canno stand to see these poor babies so mistreated just to hide the truth about the size of small pigs. There should be laws for all breeders, regardless of the breed (cat, dog, pig, etc.) This is pure abuse from my experience, and there should be laws to protect the animals.

This is animal abuse and the law needs to punish the abuser and rescue the animals from torture. People who have purchased from this breeder expected the truth and a healthy animal. How many were abandoned, put down due to growth size drastically over exaggerated and the cost of the vets.
