GOLSSEN, GERMANY – APRIL 28: Piglets crowd a stall at the H.C. Daniels hog farm in Drahnsdorf on April 28, 2016 near Golssen, Germany. German hog farmers are exporting pork meat successfully to Great Britain and undercutting British farmers, in large part because British regulations on how pigs may be raised are stricter than in Germany, meaning British pork is more expensive. Supporters of Great Britain’s departure from the European Union, or Brexit, cite cheap imports of pork as one example of why Britain should leave the EU. EU membership means Great Britain cannot impose tariffs on German pork. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)

Pigasso lives in a South African Santuary, where she now spends her days painting abstract expressionist art. Joanne Lefson who runs the animal rescue knew that pigs were very smart animals, so she brought out items for her to play with. Pigasso took to painting and before they knew it, a New York Gallery paid $800 for a small piece. Fame followed and now Pigasso's painting go for about $1600 a piece, which funds the animal sanctuary.
