There was even a Facebook 'Save Oinky' campaign. Oinky the giant pig will have to leave his family's Gold Coast home within for weeks, the council has decided. One and a half-year-old Oinky was originally bought as a therapy pet for Jacob Fellows, who has autism and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. In the months before the local council decision, a 'Save Oinky' campaign was launched on Facebook by Jacob's brother. The page explains that a 900-person long petition was handed in to the local council in the hopes that it would sway the decision.
