    Many people who know pigs compare them to dogs because they are friendly, loyal, and intelligent. Pigs are naturally very clean and avoid, if at all possible, soiling their living areas. When given the chance to live away from factory farms, pigs will spend hours playing, lying in the sun, and exploring their surroundings with their powerful sense of smell. Considered smarter than 3-year-old human children, pigs are very clever animals.1 Learn more about the intelligence of pigs.
    Most people rarely have the opportunity to interact with these outgoing, sensitive animals because 97 percent of pigs in United States today are raised on factory farms.2 These pigs spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy warehouses, under constant stress from the intense confinement and denied everything that is natural to them.

    Piglets' tails are cut off and their teeth are pulled out without the use of painkillers.
    As piglets, they are taken away from their mothers when they are less than 1 month old; their tails are cut off, some of their teeth are cut off, and the males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums (castration), all without any pain relief. They spend their entire lives in overcrowded pens on a tiny slab of filthy concrete.
    Breeding sows spend their entire miserable lives in tiny metal crates where they can't even turn around. Shortly after giving birth, they are once again forcibly impregnated. This cycle continues for years until their bodies finally give out and they are sent to be killed. When the time comes for slaughter, these smart and sensitive animals are forced onto transport trucks that travel for many miles through all weather extremes—many die of heat exhaustion in the summer and arrive frozen to the inside of the truck in the winter.
    According to industry reports, more than 1 million pigs die in transport each year, and an additional 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse.3, 4 Many are still fully conscious when they are immersed in scalding water for hair removal.

    Pros and Cons of Potbellied Pigs
    PIGS is a sanctuary specializing in miniature and potbellied pigs, has compiled a list of the pros and cons of keeping a pig as a pet. Although having a pig as a pet can be a rewarding experience, as with any animal, they do require a great deal of effort and commitment. Pigs are not maintenance free animals and are not as easy to care for as a cat or dog. Vietnamese potbellied pigs have been heavily promoted as house pets -- the Sanctuary does not endorse this belief and does not believe that pigs should be raised full time as house pets. Anyone considering a pig as a pet should know that potbellied pigs are expected to live 10 to 15 years and a full grown pig often weighs well over 130 pounds. PROS CONS Pigs are intelligent and have been placed fourth on the intelligence list (humans, primates, dolphins/whales, pigs). Because of their high level of intelligence, pigs that are kept as FULL time house pets can become bored easily and are often destructive when finding ways to entertain themselves. It is not uncommon for them to root up carpeting or linoleum floors, eat drywall, overturn house plants and root through the dirt. Pigs that have been neutered or spayed are generally sweet natured and sensitive animals. In fact, pigs are so sensitive that you can hurt their feelings. Pigs are herd animals and have a pecking order similar to that of chickens. Each member of the herd has a particular standing in a pecking order and a pig will usually vie to be "top pig" in the herd. When raised in the house the family members will become the pig's herd. At around 18 months of age, the struggle for "top pig" will begin. To determine the order standing, pigs fight. They will charge their opponent, snapping and swinging their head. When the opponent is a family member or a guest that has come to visit, this can be quite dangerous. There is no approved rabies vaccine for a pig. Pigs can be litter box trained. Outside pigs generally use one corner of the yard as the bathroom Pigs do root. Anyone desiring a perfectly manicured lawn should not have a pig. Placing a ring in their nose is cruel as rooting is a natural instinct for pigs. By rooting, they obtain necessary vitamins and minerals from the ground as well as food. They have been known to eat worms and grubs and also will root to find acorns or truffles Pigs generally enjoy hardy health. Pigs should receive yearly vaccinations, yearly hoof trimmings, and a yearly physical. Due to the size and difficulty in transporting, a vet willing to make house calls is recommended Pigs are very susceptible to pneumonia. The biggest cause of pneumonia is weather, but it can also be brought on by stress. Pigs can "stress out" quite easily. Because of their small lung size, bronchitis or pneumonia can kill a pig quickly Pigs have bristle like hair. People allergic to dog and cat fur may have no reaction to the hair of a pig. NOTE: We have received a few calls about allergies to the pig or the dust from the pig food. Finding a vet knowledgeable in the health care of potbellied pigs can prove difficult. Vet care can be expensive, depending, of course, on your particular area and the health condition of your pig. Emergency treatment and/or specialized surgery can be especially expensive. Pot bellied pigs should not be treated as domestic farm hogs. Also spaying a pig is quite different from a dog or cat. Pigs are generally clean, odorless animals Pigs need a pool or puddle for cooling off in hot weather. They do not sweat and must have a way of lowering their body temperature when they become over heated. They need plenty of bedding in their sleeping area during the colder months. In the winter, they love to bury themselves under straw and blankets
    Local zoning laws may not allow pigs as pets. If your zoning does not allow pigs, we urge you not to challenge your zoning.
    At around 12 to 16 weeks of age, a female pig will go into her first heat. She will then go into heat every 21 days and can become quite moody. An intact male (not neutered) has a strong, foul odor and becomes sexually active at six to eight weeks of age. Spay and/or neuter your pigs.

    YuCK! Pigs are the most Filthiest animals found on earth!:baffled:

    When u get some problem with ur organ and if the docs would transplant a pig's organ would u reject it just because it was from the filthiest animal of the earth...?

    Pigs do eat shit, but u produce shit in ur body, and pigs are a creation of the nature, nature requires scavengers, both at micro and macro level...nature has not defined this animal is filthy and these are not...pigs are a part of our ecosystem machan...dont think like that..pigs are intelligent though people think they have a meat value only...

    To the girls who say eeeeyyyaaaaaa, if pig's meat is nicely prepaired in a plate u will probably eat it, but still its an innocent animal...dont u think all the life forms on earth are not shit? Say u stay for a weak without a bath at all...then wont u be shit tooo?
    We all are junk baby, so dont ever categorize this creature is cute and this is not, all are part of the nature, nature needs all, we need all the animals for the smooth operation of earth's natural cycles.

    All are composed of atoms, they have different combinations, different atoms in different combinations make unique things, so u cannot sy where u have atoms in your CLEAN body from, when u dump ur shit and body after death to the ground they get desintegrated and go in to plants, plants produce food out of them and life cosumes them and the things cycle...so we cannot say this is shit and this is not...this guys is called in Buddhism to be Paramatta sathya...but u see them eeya because u see them according to Sammuthi sathya..

    Didnt mean to hurt u yet wanted to pur some insight..:D:D
