‘Absolutely disgusting’: Fans in Shock after $45M Rich Logan Paul’s Pig Was Reportedly Found ‘Nearly Dead, Abandoned and Maimed’
It’s no secret that YouTuber-turned-wrestler Logan Paul has been in the headlines these days due to his failed CryptoZoo project, labeled as a scam, but now his fans have been shocked when they discovered his pet pig, Pearl, left abandoned and traumatized. The YouTuber has reportedly been slammed for rehoming his pet pig, found almost dead. The Gentle Barn animal sanctuary claimed to have rescued a pig in an ill condition with a potentially life-threatening infection.
The $45M rich YouTuber reportedly was left heartbroken after seeing his pig in such a condition and thanked the rescuers for saving his pig. Logan Paul is already embroiled in controversy due to his alleged involvement in a Cryptocurrency scam. Aside from that, he received much criticism for his comments about George Janko’s religious beliefs.
Logan Paul’s Pet Pig Pearl Was Found Abandoned
YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, has expressed his fear as the pet pig he gave away two years ago was found abandoned and allegedly mistreated & beaten alongside a dead pig. Several years ago, the YouTuber and influencer bought Pearl, a pet pig, when the “teacup pig” craze became popular.
According to The Gentle Barn, an animal sanctuary with a branch in California, Paul’s pig, Pearl, was found in a field next to an already deceased pig, which he purchased in 2020. After Pearl was rescued, he quickly realized she would not remain a small pig indefinitely, and within a year, she had grown up to be a pig.
According to PEOPLE, the Gentle Barn revealed Pearl’s recovery story on its TikTok on Jan. 9, saying they recently received a call about a pig abandoned in a field. It was discovered that the pig was seriously injured when rescuers arrived. The sanctuary captioned that TikTok video,
“She came to us with tattered ears and a potentially life-threatening infection in her uterus that has since been healed. She’s clearly been through so much trauma that we can’t begin to imagine, but she’s now safe with us at The Gentle Barn. From what we’ve been told, it’s believed she was purchased originally from a breeder by an influencer.”
“People often buy ‘mini pigs’ or ‘teacup pigs’ for clout online, believing they will stay small. When they inevitably grow very large and have many unexpected needs, they’re sadly discarded.”
Charity Gentle Barn, who did not identify Paul as the prior owner, complained that the pig had been “irresponsibly rehomed” by a renowned YouTuber. Following the discovery of a picture Paul tweeted of himself with a fully grown Pearl in February 2020, commenters on Gentle Barn’s TikTok video assumed that the pig in the video was Paul’s. Also, it has been reported that Paul has written to the charity to express his gratitude for the rescue and offer monetary help for her treatment.
Logan Paul’s Pet Pig Is Neglected, And Fans Are Shocked
Animal lovers were outraged when a US animal charity posted a video showing Pearl’s rescue with her condition in her ears torn asunder and infected with a possibly life-threatening infection. Rescuers brought Pearl to the farm in a cage, where they treated her very well and told her she had endured such anguish that no one could imagine. When fans discovered the news, they were dismayed and criticized their favorite YouTuber for neglecting his pet pig.
American YouTuber Dennis Feitosa, popularly known as Def Noodles, tweeted yesterday about Logan Paul’s pet pig Pearl, where fans did not spare Paul for not taking care of his pig.
Def Noodles tweeted,
“Logan Paul’s pig Pearl found nearly dead, abandoned and maimed. Absolutely disgusting.”

Logan Paul is everything I hate in this world

Totally irresponsible. He just bought Pearl for clicks and posts to gain likes.

Logan Paul doesn’t only abandon NFT and crypto projects

Is anyone surprised? Logan Paul doesn’t recognize the real world, everything he encounters is just an opportunity for content, living or dead

Not at all surprising to be honest given his “priorities”. *hint: it’s money & fame*

Logan Paul also tweeted yesterday, sharing his side of the story, which reads,
“Pearl was rehomed to an amazing Ranch that I visited in Santa Clarita when I moved to Puerto Rico. I was unable to bring her to the island. She lived there happily for 10 months before the owner sold the Ranch. She was rehomed w/o my knowledge to the Farmer across the street.”

As far as I know, the Farmer called the Gentle Barn to pick her up, & denies there was a second pig — Pearl was transferred alone.
This is an incredibly heartbreaking situation, I had Pearl for 2 years.
— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) January 10, 2023
I’m beyond thankful to the @TheGentleBarn for taking her in & will do whatever I need to aid in Pearl’s care
— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) January 10, 2023
In a later tweet, he thanked the Gentle Barn for taking Pearl in and promised to help however he could in Pearl’s care. There are a lot of comments from his fans that criticized him for the condition of the Pearl, as well as his failed CryptoZoo project.
