Last week, the socialite tweeted about buying a five-week-old miniature pig for 4,500 dollars.

But campaign group Peta has attacked the move, accusing Paris of "wretched" behaviour, in a statement given to showbiz site TMZ.

Last week, Paris told followers on her Twitter account: "So excited for my new piglette to come home to me."

It is the latest in the hotel heiress's growing menagerie.

Responding to the purchase, Peta said in the statement to TMZ said that it was a "wretched example" of treating animals like they were "as disposable as her friends and fiances".

It added: "The Chihuahuas, ferrets and Kinkajous she's paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren't either."
