How old should a pot belly pig be before you eat it?

You don't eat it. Ever.

You DO eat it if you are as practical person that eats meat and isn't so hung up on how cute they are. That's when people bring their potbelly pigs to me- when they aren't cute and little anymore and a "fad". when they are acting like typical pigs and have begun to rip up their lanoleum, overturn their furniture, bite, and hump anything that moves. Then they are a hundred and fifty pounds or so, spoiled rotten, and confined outdoors in a muddy mess,.... like... gasp.... farm pigs. Imagine that. And imagine that the little piggies and the big piggies and crossbreed. Must mean they are the same species, hmmm...??? In fact, one of the pigs brought to me was a feral potbelly pig that somebody got sick of and they turned her loose. She crossbred with a farm pig, gave birth in the town graveyard and was tearing up gravestones and whatnot. Ya.. You don't eat them, ever. You eat them before they become fully adult and in breeding age, or the meat gets tough, but you can slow cook or roast or whatnot. The boys have to be cut or de nutted, and then fed for a month to reduce the "gamy" taste in the meat. But still... they will be tough. Pigs are pigs. Yes, they're cute, but if somebody brings me one I will feed it, pet it, raise it humanely, and then humanely dispatch it before I make it into pulled pork sandwiches.... We are on TOP of the food chain, people. That is NOT a sin! Go down South in the States where feral pigs are a REAL PROBLEM, before you start getting all environmentalist or crying that people eat pigs. Sheesh. Reality check.
