Most followers on Instagram for a pig - 1.1 million for Merlin the pig 📸 Over the last four years, owner Mina Alali has trained Merlin to speak and respond to commands by pressing the different buttons with his nose – which emit sounds ranging from simple statements like “yes” and “no”, all the way to comical expressions like “I’m mad!” and requests for food. The videos posted on social have led to a huge dedicated following of fans. "At this point, he is recognized every single time we are out in the world,” said his owner, Mina, to GWR. “My fiancé and I joke that it’s like we’re out walking with Brad Pitt.” “I am proud of the fact that Merlin and I have amassed such a large following, because I am confident that the videos I create will spread more smiles and laughter in the world, and also change the way people regard pigs, or ‘livestock,’” said Mina. “I truly believe that the world would be a better place if we treated all animals with the same love and compassion that we give more ‘domestic’ animals, like dogs and cats.”
