I gave up pork a while back. This was one of many reasons.

Though I'm no vegan (yet), I did quit eating meat from mammals about 2.5 years ago. Videos like this definitely make me feel affirmed in this transition. These creatures are simply unfit to be farmed for food. They are emotionally complex creatures who can't experience the form of factory farming we oppose on them to be anything but cruel oppression. Let's be real - in the year 2023, corporations can more or less create a product that emulates the experience of eating bacon (or other forms of pork). It may cost a lot of money to produce, or contain so much sodium that it's a bit of a health disaster (or both). Still, I find it hard to conclude that those aren't small prices to pay for the avoided suffering of so many intelligent creatures.

I like it when pigs have their heads and ears down...that means they're calm.

I met a pig named Edgar Allan Pig about five years ago. Edgar could shake hands, roll over, speak, and hive kisses on command just like a dog. I haven't touched pork ever since; it feels too much like eating a dog to me now.

Dont underestimate our close relative: the pig. It's the animal that got "bodyparts" that is similar and compatible with humans (liver, heart, etc.). They are smart asf. I want to see manpig as a new spieces the next 100 years.

I´ve been vegan for 10 years and I can tell you that going vegan was one of the best decisions I´ve ever made. My health has improved so much and my conscience is clear. I love animals and it feels so good to not contribute to their suffering <3 I don´t miss animal products at all! I wish all the best for all the people trying to go vegetarian or vegan or reduce the animla products they eat. <3

I struggle with the notion of eating any animals but I can't give it up. I love plants and vegetables too, and I eat them. My part to "give back" is that I often plant one of the tomato's in a pack, or an onion. Give it a life as a clone put out to pasture. I don't eat the fruits of the plants I grow, I just keep the seeds :) Yep, I'm strange lol. I'd love to have a pet pig tho and I'm sure I'd give up the bacon, chops and sausages pretty quick.

My pigs are most definitely smarter than my dogs

My father used to told me this …. When he got lost in the forest for 34 days straight, , , he mention a creature that look like a dog and a skin of dragon. He said I’ve never seen a creature that intelligent . Btw my father is a Zoologist. But the sad things is no one believes him . But i know he’s right, because he never lied.

The biblical laws of clean and unclean animals are starting to make sense. If you look, all of the unclean aisha, aka, not considered food to God, they are all the most intellegant or human like. I'm doing more research on it

Yes, of course pigs are more intelligent than dogs. We love dogs not because of their intelligence but their loyalty.

the unlean animals forbidden by God to eat are intelligent animals. Of course we no longer lives in the old testament because jesus sacrifice is all we needed to be saved, however we can still follow this out of animal compassion not because we want to be saved by being good, but because as the new tastement said, jesus sacrifice is enough. Veggies, Fishes, sheeps, goats, bulls and cows are the food we should eat
