Piglet Is a Rock Star Rescue at Farm Sanctuary

Little Kim Gordon, a 6-week-old piglet named after the bass player for legendary band Sonic Youth, didn't start life as a rock star. In fact, she had a pretty rocky start, falling out of a transport truck in South Dakota and wandering aimlessly for hours, suffering road rash from her fall and sunburn from the exposure to the elements. But this little pig's luck turned around when a couple made a wrong turn and discovered the injured animal.

Lanore Hahn -- who was traveling with her boyfriend on his rock band tour -- saw the scared piglet and captured her, intending to return her to her rightful owners. However, after asking around and examining her injuries, Hahn learned that the little porker had mostly likely fallen off a transport truck and, if she were turned into the authorities, they'd probably shoot her. While the pig fell into a 10-hour slumber, Hahn decided to take her home to Wisconsin, where she tended to the piglet's injuries and began to nurse the sweet swine back to health.

Late Thursday night, Kim Gordon was delivered to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, N.Y. According to Farm Sanctuary, the piglet has already lived up to her rock star name, sleeping in late on her first full day at her new home.
