Do you ever think how smart are pigs?

Pigs are curious and insightful animals thought to have intelligence beyond that of an average 3-year-old human child. They are smarter than dogs and every bit as friendly, loyal, and affectionate. Do you still want to put pork on your plate?

I have never thought they could be regarded as clever animals!!!! You can be sure they have a BIG HEART!!! we use it to learn something more about heart anatomy when studying heart at university...sometimes we use pig hearts for doing surgery exercises...but no my dear...never known before they're are very clever!!!! it is said that when having a pig you are not throwing anything away..you're using every part of pigs because they are tasteful, and so useful...for so many purposes...maybe we have to better consider their brain, then!!!

I support animal liberation, so I would never eat pig or harm any animals. I refused to do lab work in my medical school, because I was ask to kill frog. Christian Barnard, "I had bought two male chimps from a primate colony in Holland. They lived next to each other in separate cages for several months before I used one as a [heart] donor. When we put him to sleep in his cage in preparation for the operation, he chattered and cried incessantly. We attached no significance to this, but it must have made a great impression on his companion, for when we removed the body to the operating room, the other chimp wept bitterly and was inconsolable for days. The incident made a deep impression on me. I vowed never again to experiment with such sensitive creatures."

well i'm not a vegetarian but i think we humans were made to eat fruits and vegetables only considering Adam&Eve's daily dwelling in Eden (though it wasn't neccessary coz they were immortals before the Fall..) Today, i've observed that those people who really eat only fruits and vegetables (with some supplements) live longer and healthier lives.

What an interesting fact!!! There is something else about a pig..... Everyone thinks that they are a dirty animal !!! When in actual fact.... they are the cleanest!! Put a bale of straw down for a cow.... it will Sh....t in it!! Do the same for a Sheep ..... If you do it for a pig.... it will take most of it to one end of the Pig Sty.... and then it will Cr...p in the rest of the sty, and NOT where he is going to sleep !!! TRUE I used to work on a farm!

Never experienced such but I praise for this post comparing to other posts that ask for your name, your country, what you ate last evening and other trival questions.
