In 2019, Day rescued a pig she named Jixy Pixy from slaughter in western England and brought it to London, where she would take it to restaurants and for walks around town.
Day was forced to hand the pig over to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) after her landlord discovered she was keeping it in her small apartment, Daily Mail reported in 2019.

Day reportedly carried out a nationwide search for the pig and issued an appeal on Instagram, the Daily Mail reported. She also said she was going to hire a private detective to locate the pig.
"This isn't over until the day I die," Day reportedly said of the missing pig.
