Are pigs better pets than dogs?

Answer 1

Pigs are very popular however do you mean eating them or keeping them as pets/ farm animals? Pot belly pigs are very every intelligent they can be trained as well as dogs and are just as friendly. They can come very large or quite small. petfinder.com has many great pot bellies to adopt with references however many of these animals have been abused and are only fit for farms. Eating pig is very nutritious and delicious. Eating pig is more popular then having them for pets, but either way you go pigs are very popular in America

Yes, people do have pet pigs they're are called pygmy pigs. they are very small and very rare pigs. i waqs even thinking about asking my mum for a pygmy pig insted of a dog, because you think pig-not very playful, very dirty and eats loads! but no they're the complete oppersite, they are so cute so there you are. I agree with the first answer, but any breed of pig can be a pet. Mainly Kune Kune. But I'm vegetarian and have heaps of pet animals. My pig is a Landrace I think, I'm in a mood with him atm. He hurt my feelings really bad. I was looking for one of my pet chickens called Apricot. Then I looked in his house, and, and, I saw some feathers, so I though "oh, she must be in here then!" Then I saw a leg, I froze and started crying (which means alot cause I basically never cry.) Then when I opened my eyes and looked, I realized that he was eating a chicken carcase. There was blood everywhere. I can't believe he could do that. We let him in the chicken paddock all the time, I'm not too keen on letting him play with my dog anymore. He really upset me today. But I forgave him and gave him a fuss. The worst thing is that we saved 8 chickens from the batteryhouse and now we only have 3 + Rocky the Rooster. Two died because of the bad conditions they were kept in at the battery. Two died from illness. And now Apricot =[ R-I-P.. Skinny, Boney, Peach, Sunny and Apricot. That has basically nothing to do with the question though, lol. Pigs are great pets, they're not lazy or dirty (as said in the first answer) they run really fast, love humans, poo in a pile away from their food/water/bed. Mine doesn't roll in mud or anything, so we suncream him, he gets bad sunburn. He likes to dig (the biggest problem with pigs) so we keep him in his house when we're not supervising him. You can get nose rings for them, but I wouldn't want my pig in pain.

I think pigs are way better pets than dogs unless you hate smelly things then a dog would be better or maybe if you hate smelly things you shouldn't get a pet at all!!!!!
