I thought Roger Waters made a big deal about keeping the pig during "the divorce" ? Apparently he doesn't own it?

Incidentally, Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album.

it would be fun to buy that and then take it on a world tour to famous landmarks and take pictures of it.

This will sound terribly naive to anyone who has been to London, but when I was there, riding a train between the airport and downtown, we passed the Battersea Power Station and I was really astonished that the iconic factory on the cover of the famous Pink Floyd Animals album - was right there for all to see !

I thought that was really, really cool.

It also showed up in a documentary I saw recently about the making of Quadrophenia. The Who had a recording studio at the time, literally in the shadows of the same iconic building.

If you start clicking through the links in the auction, the 1977 Pig is "WITHDRAWN FROM SALE"

But there is a 30 foot tall PEACH!

I don't know, but It sounds a bit more wholesome than a 50+ year old man owning a giant inflatable pig. Grin
