so what does /an/ think of domesticated pigs as pets?
pigs are lazy...humans are lazy...seems like a perfect match to me!
they are, supposedly, very clean animals
Something tell me they shit everywhere and smell bad.
>>156834to the contrary.
>>156835well people expect them to be that way because pigs are always given attention in fenced off sties with too many animals in the same areathey are literally fed slop and really have no choice but to shit everywhere in the tiny area they are given
>>156819all they do is sit on the couch and ask for beer and sandwiches. why the fuck would I want that
I'd get one. Even though I'm not fond of anything fat.And I heard that when they are piglets they never stop squealing. Supposedly they spook easy.
>>156848I had to deal with piglets once. The noise made me want to throw them against a wall, and I'm a fucking vegan pussy.
well, you know, when the zombie apocalypse comes you'll always have a good source of breakfast lunch and dinner for a few weeks
>>156819Hard to tell which one is the pig in that picture.
>>156834You, sir, are correct. My vietnamese potbelly shit everywhere all the time. I hated that fucker.
This is a stupid question, but can you eat a potbellied pig? I mean, does it taste like regular 'ol ham or do farmers use a special breed?
>>156979It tastes like human.
>>157024Fun cannibalism fact:The name for "human flesh" in Polynesia translates to "long pig".
As soon as they come up with a pig with paws instead of hooves, I'll think about it.
>>157026i'll take a dog with tusks
>>156819Hahaha with those tusks, Fido'll take a mouthful of leg if the owner stop scratching his ears.
Pigs can be trained to shit outside just like a dog. If yours is shitting in the house you haven't housebroken it yet.
have to wonder how good the life expectancy is for the pigs, though
They're vicious little fuckers with the cunning to match. A lot like owning pit bulls, really.
>>157102pits never seemed particularly cunning to me..
Are there pigs that don't grow into giant disgusting beasts? I mean, stay small. Those would be nice to have.
>>156833They eat and wallow in their own shit...Now to me...THAT"S NOT CLEAN!!!
>>157178What? Humans? That may be true, but we're still the dominant species on the planet, dammit!
>>157180Pigs! Numbnut!
>>157184Pigs are smart. You can pottytrain them.They don't wallow in shit, they wallow in mud.
>>157178Because they have no other choice to. Pigs are highly underestimated and usually need mud or something to roll around in to keep their skin healthy.You are thinking stereotypically. Pigs are very clean and intelligent.
does they maek jenkem?
Hamsters eat their own droppings; this is thought to be a source of vitamins B and K, produced by bacteria in the gut. Apes have been observed eating horse feces for the salt. Monkeys have been observed to eat elephant feces.
ITT: PIG STEREOTYPESPigs look like they'd be fun pets. Seems like they're very very food oriented for easy training. Just youtube some potbelly pig videos. Cute shit.
seems expensive to me...
I'm all for keeping pets that are acceptable dinners.
