Renowned songwriter Diane Warren has captured the hearts of many once again, this time for her latest act of compassion towards animals. The Oscar-nominated musician has adopted a pig named Wilbur, who recently gained notoriety for his unexpected escapades through the streets of West Hollywood. After the piglet was filmed running loose in the city, the public response was overwhelming, leading to a flurry of interest from prospective adopters.
Warren, 69, was drawn to Wilbur after seeing news reports of his antics, and her fondness for animals prompted her to take swift action. Upon learning about Wilbur’s plight, she expressed her wish to rescue him, saying, “Get the pig. Save the pig!” This sentiment was echoed by Marcia Zwilling, managing director of the Diane Warren Foundation, who recalled Warren’s urgency to bring the piglet to safety.
On 20th August, Warren met Wilbur for the first time at the West L.A. Animal Shelter. Arriving to a flurry of cameras, she happily exclaimed, “Oh my God. You’re so cute!” as she approached the young pig, who had been named after the famous character from the children’s book *Charlotte’s Web*. With genuine affection, Warren reassured Wilbur, stating, “Look, you’re gonna have a really good home.”
In the wake of Wilbur’s newfound fame, the shelter organised a silent auction to facilitate his adoption, drawing significant interest from the community. Fortunately for Wilbur, the winning bid came from Zwilling on behalf of Warren, securing a future for the beloved pig within a larger animal sanctuary.
Wilbur’s new abode is a seven-acre animal sanctuary located in Malibu. However, it seems he might be getting a name change, as Warren already has a pet pig named Wilbur. This isn’t the first time the venerable songwriter has come to the aid of an animal in need. Back in 2021, Warren made headlines for rescuing a cow that had escaped a slaughterhouse in Southern California.
Reflecting on her previous endeavours, Warren noted, “This isn’t my first cow I’ve saved, but this feels like a special cow. Because this was that one. So it’s almost like she represents all cows
