Patty's Royal Dandie Miniature Pet Pigs, showcased their miniature piglets and gifted gourmet truffle salt sets to all attending guests. They also utilized the suite as an opportunity to educate people about the unique attributes and care needed for these animals, as well as screen for potential care-givers interested in the pigs (assuring that they must be vetted by the organization and agree to a mandatory in-home visit for care and training). Concerned about the welfare of these delightful piglets, Royal Dandies adheres to an adoption process similar to other organizations out there that currently adopt pigs, and if in fact the owner decides that they no longer want to keep the pig for any reason at all, Royal Dandies will take the pig back with no questions asked and continue to raise it on their 20 Acre property indefinitely. Additionally, GBK handed out cd's from PETA to all of the guests of the lounge to show their complete support for animal rights and ethical treatment of animals. GBK is continuing to work with multiple animal organizations by offering a variety of ways to put the missions of these organizations in front of the guests of GBK in our future suites.
