Miley Cyrus turned 20 years old this past Friday, Nov. 23, and even though she might've celebrated with gifts, cake and family, PETA had another special idea planned for the b-day girl.
The animal-rights organization has decided to sponsor a pig, Nora, in Miley's honor. According to PETA, Nora stays at Kindred Spirits Sanctuary, a farm in Ocala, Fla., that provides refuge to abused or neglected animals such as pigs, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, horses, and donkeys.
In a recent interview with The Ellen DeGenres Show, PETA noted that Miley talked about how much she loves pigs. Plus, Miley recently retweeted a PETA action alert asking peoples to urge Walmart to ban its suppliers from cruelly confining pigs to tiny metal-barred gestation crates for months at a time.
PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman shared to E! News of the birthday gift, "PETA knew that sponsoring a rescued pig was the perfect birthday present for a young woman who spends so much time encouraging others to help animals," "From promoting animal adoption to speaking up for cows who suffer on dairy farms, Miley never stops letting her millions of fans know what they can do to make the world a kinder place."
Miley has shown her loyalty to PETA in the past, and has a charity donation page where her loyal fans can donate to PETA and other causes.
So far, Miley hasn't commented on PETA's pig gift.
