Piggy banks cast from pig's corpse

These $75 silicone piggy-banks are made from castings of a real, dead pig:

it is produced by casting polyester resins in highly-detailed silicone molds from a real pig. the pig, we are told, lost its life from natural causes and allen will donate $10 from each sale to the Humane Society to prevent cruelty to animals everywhere. these banks are not toys, they are fragile and should be handled with care. available in fuzzy yellow, gypsum white and boyish blue.
