My mother-in-law had one of those tiny pet-pigs that would run around the house.

We would always feed it ham and bacon...

That's not right...

Pigs are cannibalistic, and so are chickens. So feeding them their own meat isn't unnatural as you think.

Pigs also make great pets. Way smarter than any other pet you could have. They're naturally potty trained(pigs habitually go in the same place so you just need to establish where it is), can see in color, love belly rubs and baths(preferably at the same time), and its something nobody else on your block would have I guarantee.

Pigs are cool, especially the tiny ones


To the eating of dogs and cats, many people, who do not even own them, consider them pets. And like many people consider pets as family. Maybe they think if you are eating a pet animal you could possibly be eating someones family member?

I used to work on a pig farm in Iowa and can say you are correct on all counts. We once had a 150 pound pig that got in with a pen of much larger ones overnight. There was not a lot left of it the next day, just a scrap here and there. On the other side of the coin we had a couple of pigs we raised from when they were piglettes. They were some of the most loving and affectionate animals I have ever seen.

While I like cats, I have no problem with people eating them if they wanted. The same goes for dogs, horses, or any other "pet" animal.

The idea that an animal can't legally be eaten because its a "pet" is rather silly and arbitrary. We've got way too many stray cats and dogs, and horses, without homes in this country. If someone wants to eat one, provided the animal isn't owned by someone else, I don't see why not.

Mankind has eaten dogs for thousands of years.

We have had several pet deaths in the area thanks to overzealous and unregulated hunting.

Its really sad and annoying. Freaked my little brother out after our dog almost got shot.

Where do you live that there are imbeciles like that??!?

Where I am, hunters respect the prey and the environment, as well as keeping good neighbors (making friends with the farmers is really important if you want to hunt on their land). Before you are allowed to get a license, you have to take a hunters safety course. I went through it with my daughter when it was her turn to take the class.

You have morons in all pursuits. I had a friend that had a horse shot out from under him by a deer hunter here in Utah. Back in Maine, where I used to live, several years ago there was a man who thought it would be clever to drape himself in deer skins and antlers in order to get close for better shooting. He got shot. Score one for Darwin.

How do you confuse a horse with a guy onetop of him with a deer?
