As far as I know that’s only typical of pigs in over crowded conditions. It’s why they dock the tails and clip the ears. Number of pigs in the enclosure matters less than the size of the enclosure. Pigs are fairly aggressive animals, And such things largely only happen in captivity.
And again its got no bearing on their intelligence level. Pigs aren’t the cuddly adorable animals people portray them as sure. They’re aggressive, large, and dangerous animals. But theyre generally held to be more intelligent than your average dog (another animal that does those sorts of things in certain conditions).
I don’t mind (sometimes I don’t even notice!) when the dogs I dogsit hop up on the bed and spoon me while I sleep. But I would never pigsit, even if the owners reassured me that the pig was great with the kids. Oddly enough, I refuse to eat pork. My sister LOVES to eat pork because she says, “Good! That’s another one dead!”
Yes, and Octupi dont live that long anyway. So we can always say “Its what the Octopus would have wanted”. Them being intelligent and often psychic.
I feel bad about eating animals but not bad enough to stop doing it. So you might argue I dont really feel very bad at all about it.
Maybe I should just tell myself than I hate all tasty animals just so I can justify eating them. I know its an irrational hate but I need some kind of fig leaf. Especially for bacon.
