Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted that he was forced to send his pet pig to a fat farm after it tipped the scales at 300lb.
The Terminator star’s pet pig, Schnelly, is one of the many pets that he has acquired over the years. At the moment the family has four dogs, a donkey and a teeny pig in their collection.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Arnold explained that his girlfriend Heather Milligan had given him Schnelly as a gift but it wasn’t his first time taking care of a pig. Arnie said: “I always wanted to have a pig because George Clooney, when I did Batman and Robin with him in the 90s, he had a little pig and it ran around with him all over place, on the set and everywhere.

“That inspired me. 20-something years ago [with his first pet pig], my kids started going on this competition of who feeds this animal more food. They thought this was really great.

“One was giving him one apple, then the other was coming with two apples. Then the third kid came home and started giving bananas and apples and pears. All of a sudden, this pig ended up being 300lbs.
“It’s supposed to be a miniature pig. So I had to send it to a fat farm. Imagine how crazy that is, sending [a pig] to a farm at 300lbs.” Later in the interview, Jimmy questioned Arnold on his parenting style as he previously admitted that he threw his daughter’s shoes in the fire to teach her a lesson.

“It depends what your definition is. For the way I grew up, I was lenient. But I think for American standards, probably strict. My son [Patrick], for instance, did not make his bed. He had the nanny make the bed, which was not allowed.
“I said the kids have to make their own beds, they have to scrub their own showers, they have to clean their own toilets and they have to wash their own clothes. I came in one time and the bed was made so immaculately that I said, ‘Patrick… Did you do that?’

“He said, ‘No, I didn’t.’ So I opened up the doors, grabbed the mattress and threw it out the balcony, and down into the swimming pool. ‘He had to drag it up, the mattress and the pillows – I threw everything out there.’
