Free Stuff Friday: Woof! Prize Pack June 27, 2008

Posted by Ashleigh | Permalink | Comments ( 1095 ) | TrackBack

Lots of people saying "Woof!" lately, eh? That's because pigs and dogs have more in common than most people are aware of. The dogs of the world have it lucky, while the pigs . . . not so much. For the pigs' sake, sign our petition saying that pigs deserve the same protection as dogs.

Now that you've helped the pigs, it's time to spread the word like Ryan and Rachel:

To make this easy for you we are giving away a Woof! prize pack complete with a tee, hat, and a whole bunch of stickers to one lucky winner!

To win, comment below with what you would name this pig:

Just so you know...by commenting here, we're taking that as acknowledgment that you've read and agreed to our privacy policy.

I would try combining 'woof' and 'oink' and get 'WINK'. He's such a cute pig. So chubby with his stubby legs. Awh.

P.S. I love what you all are doing.

I would name that piggy Chuck. I know a dog called Chuck. I like that name - I think it's quite suiting for Unamed Pig's personality. XD

I love piggys. They're cute. =] I want that pig.

I would name the pig "Pinky"

Posted by: WENDY HORN at June 27, 2008 12:34 PM
                                                               

I would name that pig
Puddles
because when pigs are free they are always getting in to puddles of mud
and dogs love to dig so they also get dirty especially when its raining

Posted by: Carolina at June 27, 2008 12:40 PM
                                                               

I would name that pig curly! The pig looks just like my pig with the hair in the front of his head and its all curly he is so cute!!!
Woof woof is just the same as oink oink : )

Posted by: Loren at June 27, 2008 12:57 PM
                                                               

Hmm...well, I think the classic "Babe" is so cute, but cute names like "Snuggles" and "Cuddles" are great too!

As the petition is about getting equal rights for pigs and getting them the same protection as dogs do, I have decided to call the pig Patch...
I have chosen to name the pig Buster because the picture is about a pig saying woof, trying to show pigs and dogs are the same and deserve the same protection, so therefore i decided to give the dog a common dogs name too....

=D

Pigs are my absolute favorite animals and I have always wanted a pig!!!!!! i decided that I would name him Henry or Charles. They just seem like good pig names : )

ping-pong!! ping-pong the pig! the image of a ping pong table, two equal sides with one winning and one losing.. kind of reminds you how pigs and dogs are the same but in the end, one is winning big and one losing more than you can imagine. plus, it's just super cute!

I would name the pig bacon to be ironic. It'd be cute and he wouldn't have to suffer and be oppressed before being slaughtered in order to be called bacon.

Posted by: Sarah at June 27, 2008 2:40 PM

Posted by: Patricia Schraier at June 27, 2008 4:02 PM
                                                               

I also think the pig should be named Bruno. I'm Bruno, and so is my wife and each of our kids.

Posted by: eli arriaga at June 27, 2008 6:21 PM
                                                               

i really think it should be named "fido" or "rover" because everyone is naming it a pig's name. isn't the point to make people see that a pig is not so different from a dog?

Posted by: Norma Jeane Murder at June 27, 2008 6:22 PM
                                                               

puppy. puppy the pig

Posted by: jess at June 27, 2008 6:42 PM
                                                               

I would name him Gilbert, because Gilbert is a purely awesome name; as well, it is similar to the name of the most famous cartoon pig, Wilbur.

I would call him Lucky, because pigs are known to bring good luck and if I won him that would be lucky for me hence the new name "Lucky"
thanks for the contest

Fluffy. All the best pets are named "fluffy". It doesn't matter that the little piggy doesn't have any fluff - giving it the name fluffy just makes it seem so much more loveable...and less likely to end up in a BLT somewhere.

Posted by: Kaysee at June 27, 2008 7:32 PM
                                                               

I'd name this piggy "Pinky Petapiggy Jr."
(Pinky Petapiggy Sr. was turned into bacon! I would name this pig Pinky Petapiggy so he could carry on his father's name for a good cause!)

Posted by: Emily at June 27, 2008 7:47 PM
                                                               

i would name the pig
Marley

beacuse bob marley loved animals and i think he would have loved the whole idea of what the pig symbolizes

or maybe the name could simply be Marley

Posted by: Savannah at June 27, 2008 8:00 PM
                                                               

I would name him Spike. :)

Posted by: Sarah S at June 27, 2008 8:04 PM
                                                               

I would name the pig Frodo because of its height, or name it Oinkers because of all the noise it would make, save the pigs, turn vegan. They need to be treated as good as the dogs we own get treated. Good food, good living conditions, and love from everyone.

Posted by: Austin Harkey at June 27, 2008 8:19 PM
                                                               

Adorable! I would him Jimmy. Jimmy the Pig. Like music to my ears.

Thanks to my pig shaped pencil case. Also, coincidently, named JIMMY THE PIG.

I agree with gordon! so cute. :)

Posted by: erin at June 27, 2008 8:22 PM
                                                               

I would name him "Togo". Togo is also the name of the malamute dog who ran the longest distance to deliver serum to Eskimos during an epidemic in 1925. Naming a pig that would in a way show that pigs can help humans just as well as dogs can.

Posted by: Stephanie at June 27, 2008 8:30 PM
                                                               

i would name the pig WOINK
because if i add woof n oink

Rosey or Bruno

Posted by: Natalie at June 27, 2008 10:52 PM
                                                               

I think I would name him Munky because my dog's name is Munky and everytime i play with Munky or something I think of how similar he is to an pig.

Another option would be Mr. Oink Oink because i usually refer to cows as Moo Moos so i think that would be cute.

Posted by: Melissa at June 27, 2008 11:05 PM
                                                               

The 3rd little pig =]
Because, the third little pig showed how smart they really are, building a house of bricks, and then tricking the wolf.

It would have to be something really unique, but also obvious...like Tino or Oddball...or Kenno lol:)

I would name the piggy Buddy. Because pigs are our buddys too. Not just dogs :)

Posted by: Jessica at June 27, 2008 11:58 PM
                                                               

I would go with Einstein because pigs are like really smart :) or Hamlet because pigs are made into ham and its an amazing play! And pigs are amazing!, plus ham (ham = pigs) - let (pig(let) = Hamlet! Lawl :)

Posted by: Toki at June 27, 2008 11:59 PM

I think naming it something like a conventional dog name is wrong. It's a pig, not a dog, but it still doesn't deserve to be treated creully.
I don't think its right to push people to realize they're wrong by comparing it something. You shouldnt have to EXPLAIN why torturing animals is wrong. People should just see it, and understand that nothing, be it dog, pig, or person, deserves that sort of treatment.
I want to name it Hershal, after a pig that my grandpa raised, then slaughtered when I was 11. He treated him just like he would his dogs, but in the end it didn't matter. So I think Hershal is a good choice to memorialize an animal I was close with, that didn't deserve to die.

well if hes a mr. i would name him Gordy or Wilburt no not wilbur , its wil-burt!
and if this piggy was a mis. id name her percilla or penny, hmm maybe francheska?

oh oh no its name would be
Nourriture-d'ami-pas
ok ok i know what ur saying like ,hello there thats a hell'a of a long name , but in french it means friend not food :)
so u could pronounce it like nourri-ture-d-ami-pas
:))))

p.s. this is a very cute idea and it was fun to do also!
