Perhaps one of the more bizarre sightings over the past week saw a man walking a pet pig in the San Francisco streets. As seen below, the pig was walked across the road whilst being pulled on a pink leash. As if this didn’t show the quirky nature of San Francisco enough already, the man was also accompanied by a woman with bright pink hair. This sighting was spotted on 5th Ave, with other locals claiming a woman was also seen walking a pig on 19th Ave as well.

Interestingly, owning a pet pig is completely legal in San Francisco, and despite many people viewing them as farm animals, they are apparently very friendly as pets and have similar intelligence levels to dogs. So, despite this being a strange sight – it may just be a case of someone going against cultural norms.

This prompted locals to discuss the stranger pet sightings in San Francisco. Apparently, this pig’s name is Bikini and they have a nice temperament. In fact, quite a few people claimed to have seen this pig before. Elsewhere, others claimed that other locals had pet ducks, giant rabbits, and parrots.

If nothing else, this is a friendly reminder of San Francisco’s unique side. Arguably, if everyone had pet dogs and cats then life may be a whole lot more boring. On a similar note, if you’ve sighted any strange animals in San Francisco then let us know in the comments.
