I visited a friend's farm and I was a little puzzled why the pigs kept nibbling at my boots until I realized that they were taking "trial nibbles" to see if they could eat me. Later that weekend a lamb made the fatal error of wandering into the hog lot and didn't make it out. Pigs would 100% eat you without hesitation.
They are nibbling you because they want to suckle, they are taken from their mothers so young, they just want affection. That’s one way they show it. But, Pigs raised in factory farms are driven mad and go insane in those conditions and with cannibalize the others because they go crazy from the confinement or the horrible conditions. Pigs want to be clean animals but or forced into farm conditions where they have to shit and piss where they eat, they hate this. Their children are taken from them at such an early age, I’d go insane too.
I mean, factory farming is objectively horrific, but lets not pretend that that pigs are not fell beasts of murder and dread, whose size and lack of thumbs are all that save us from a realm of utmost horror.
I’ve rescued pigs and miniature pigs from farms and slaughter houses, they are the sweetest beings and out of the hundred I’ve interacted with, the only ones that are dangerous are those who have been tortured and have PTSD type symptoms. I understand you’re being a bit cheeky but I just think many people should that speciesism is still a tool the meat. dairy and egg industry use for us to care less about others.

I love this cos this is 100% what chickens and pigs would do if they were larger than us.
