From Lulu The Donkey To Schnelly The Pig: Meet Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Pet Paradise

ADVERTISEMENT

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the ultimate animal lover, and he just posted a picture of his pet pig to prove it.

Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday (January 18), Arnie shared an adorable update of one of his many pets, his pig Schnelly.

In the picture, The Terminator star was sharing an intimate moment, seemingly mouth-feeding Schnelly, to his almost 26 million followers’ delights.

He captioned the picture, which has amassed 293,000 likes in just 24 hours: “Schnelly loves his cookies, and I love my Schnelly.”

    The Austrian-American actor is known to hold a special place in his heart for animals. As of October 2023, Arnie had a least six pets at his home in Los Angeles.

    He started with his mini donkey Lulu. The 76-year-old former California governor brought the donkey into his household in 2019. Lulu has been notable for walking into several of Arnold’s Zoom meetings.

    In 2019, the bodybuilding icon adopted Whiskey, a miniature horse. In July 2020, Arnie went on to adopt some sort of malamute dog mix named Dutch.

    A year later, around Christmas, Arnie announced that he had grown his animal family with a Leonberger breed named Schnitzel, named after his favorite Austrian dish.

    The former politician has also brought in a rescued Yorkshire Terrier named Cherry. Arnie finally adopted Schnelly in April 2023. 

    Arnold has notably moved away from eating meat in recent years, revealing in a 2022 edition of his newsletter that he had made the decision to eat 80% plant-based foods, which led to a dramatic reduction in his cholesterol levels.

    Hopefully, Schnelly’s cuddles have helped Arnie recover from the pickle he found himself in earlier this week when he faced criminal tax proceedings after failing to declare an item upon arrival to Germany.

    The animal lover had been detained for three hours at Munich airport for traveling with an expensive watch that he intended to auction at his charity auction in Kitzbuhel, Austria.

     “He cooperated at every step even though it was an incompetent shakedown, a total comedy of errors that would make a very funny cop movie,” a source close to the star said at the time.

    “Finding love for animals means finding inner peace,” a reader commented

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.
