'Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans and David Eason Under Fire for Allegedly Abusing Animals

In the latest episode of Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and her husband David Eason's controversial lives, fans are accusing them of abusing their animals. And to make matters worse, the 27-year-old reality star has replied to the backlash--defending their actions.
It all started when Jenelle took to Instagram Live to share what David was up to in their backyard, which included him pulling and dragging their pigs by their back legs. While the video is no longer available on her page, people of course took screenshots as evidence. And many have taken to social media to try and get help.

The screenshots are definitely alarming, but apparently Jenelle does not think so. "They are not pet pigs," she told a fan--as if that makes the situation any better. She also claimed they will be posting YouTube videos soon of their "farm life."
They are not pet pigs... we were moving them to their new pin. ??♀️? I stopped filming because I began filming in landscape mode with my iPhone. Coming to #YouTube soon! #Homesteading #FarmLife ?☀️ https://t.co/xKmFCyzpWG

In a since-deleted tweet, the reality star responded to someone who wrote, "Doesn't matter if they're pets or not. You still don't drag pigs by their back legs. Ever." Jenelle tried to deny that's what David was doing.
Teen Mom fans on social media have been in an outrage over the whole incident. "They shouldn't be allowed to have animals or children," one wrote, while another added, "Having a little farm is perfect for Jenelle since she is an animal abuser. She and her man can mistreat all of the animals and just say that it's because of farm life."
However, a few defended Jenelle and David, explaining that there would be no other way to move the pigs. "Clearly none of you grew up on a farm. They are livestock. If you think you can move a 300lb pig by just asking it to move your are nuts," one commented on Facebook.
We'll be keeping a close watch on this apparent YouTube show--then we'll see if the couple is truly mistreating animals. But it really doesn't look good.
