This study poses the question: How are leisure experiences inspired by rural practices about the traditional use of farm animals lived by the animals? The aim is to contribute to the literature about farm animals in leisure experiences and the animals’ perspectives on the leisure experiences in which they are involved.
Based on the main tenets of ecofeminism, it explores the research question by adopting a creative approach consisting of a fictional story about a pig living at a rural museum. An ad hoc model is developed to identify some main typologies of animal experiences derived from their involvement in human leisure experiences.
This study highlights some practical and research implications and invites the reader to deeply and critically reflect on the use of animals for human leisure.
