I see many celebs having pigs as pets, well I like pigs, I think they are unfairly pictured in society, and they are as loyal loving and smarter than dogs, so is it as easy to keep a pig as a dog ?
I've never had a pig and I don't know anyone who does, but I do know that if you get an animal that is sometimes killed for food from a place that will kill them and sell them as food (but get them alive) they'll die early, because I got a chicken from a place that has them all in cages and kills them there so you can take them home and cook them, we went in and said "can I have a living white one please?" And they probably put something in the food that makes them fat, because she grew like twice the size of a chicken not bred for eating, and she died when she was about a year old. We think it was a heart attack or something from just being to fat. :'( I miss her. I know a chicken isn't the same as a pig, but I think the same thing will happen if you get one like we did. Cause I know that once pigs are really fat they can't walk.
You can get small dog sized potbelly pigs that are highly intelligent and easily housetrained. Pigs are actually one of the cleanest animals around they get rid of their waste only in one area as far away from their food as possible. They are only known for being dirty because they have no sweat glands and like laying in cool water and mud to keep themselves cool. They make great pets.
yea, my friend at school has a pet pic lmao! but they keep it in the house and feed it out of a dog dish sooo? I guess if you keep um in your house 4 a while they can be as good as a dog! just playing catch may take longer with a pic, they got short legs : / you know!
my friend had a pot bellied pig and it was great- she also had 3 dogs with it and they all got along, so yeah theyre great pets.
