A couple who bid to rescue a pig at an auction were left stunned after learning they were buying its meat.
Meg Weinberger and her husband Eric received an ultimatum from West Palm Beach fair in Florida, US, after being told the pig would have to be killed or their $4,700 (£3,700) bid would be rejected.
The pair, who are animal lovers, were at the fair when they saw the female pig and quickly fell in love with the animal.
