Well, the first Arnold Ziffle was.
According to TVLand trivia, the first Arnold Ziffle of Green Acres fame was in fact made into bacon. During the seven year run of the series however, no less than 200 pigs played Arnold Ziffle, because pigs grow so fast, going from three pound piglets (I love that word!!!) to 200 pounds very quickly, and believe me, they don't stop there. The world record for a pig was Big Bill at the 1939 World's Fair, tipping the scales at a Texas steer-like 2,552 pounds.
WOW!!! That's a lotta PORK!!!!!!!!!!
The other white meat.
It seems the other 200 pigs after the first Arnold got to live out their lives to a ripe old age because of an uproar surrounding the fate of the first 'actor' to play the pig. Or is that pigs who played the 'actor?' Well, a lot of actors really can be pigs, so perhaps, . . .
