Meet Slops! My friend "C" who is orignally from Tasmania told me about Slops yesterday. Slops is a beer drinking pig who can be found at The Pub in the Paddock in Tasmania. The pub has been licensed since 1880 and literally sits in the middle of a paddock in the lush green Pyengana Valley about 30 minutes from the east town of St Helens. Slops is the main attraction. Patrons of the pub are encouraged to buy beer for the pig, who lives in a pen behind a sign reading "Hi! Geez I'm dry. I'd luv a beer." When speaking about Slops, the bartenter was quoted as stating proudly: "He drank 76 full strength stubbies in one session. Mind you, he fell over after 54, but the little trooper kept on going lying on his side". I did a litle bit of research on Slops and there were some reports made to the RSPCA about animal cruelty but he can still be found at The Pub in the Paddock and now has a beer drinking friend named Priscilla to keep him company!
