Keeping Pigs - Part 2 | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

[@rodgerslupikisha6588]

I would like to venture into Pig farming around Romsey where I live as am thinking of retirement from my 32 years of nursing, but don't have land. Where can I start?

[@georgelowellohhdgg63nnd96]

Excellent video thanks. Is there a smell (of rearing them) that would bother neighbors? If so, how can you manage it or prevent it? Thanks!

[@nickfrank1]

makes me want to buy some pigs and get started... if I had the property

[@Trakehner20]

I've got the property but don't want to get started.

[@imme313]

How do you make sure that the pigs get their greens in winter or do you have a supplement for them? Can you give them leaves from all trees or are there some they can't handel? Thanks in advance

[@schuur451]

+ikkeduitser When we had "project" pigs on our farm, we would give them food waste from the table during the winter. It wasn't all that much in terms of quantity, but it was nice for some variety in their diet.

[@danniehansen9845]

what is best way to introduct new pig to a goub of pig that have been together for 3 months,

[@Stelica92]

if I ever move to the country side, I will have pigs :D nice video

[@ecclesiaxxi6210]

Pigs are such a sweet and underrated animal ^_^ Adorable! Edit: I don't have pigs but if I did I'd stay away from the new age stuff, be a good Christian, treat your animals right and they'll respond as they did on farms I have been too.

Thanks

[@deanbridges572]

oh my gosh don't think of them as pets cause your putting them to slaughter ! The years of joy and companionship they are giving to you freely selflessly as you control them for years for a couple of roast dinners for the family and mixed grill breakfasts for a couple of weeks ! This amounts to narcism and not loving or a true heart ! Feel sorry for all the sentient beings you encounter but more so you living with your livingness ! I hope you find consciousness of being and not the attic in the mansions story that it tells you. i wish to flood you with love if you would do me the mercy of receiving this. Big Love and happiness

Somone's been at the sauce

[@figandspade11]

Homeopathic treatment? Why not just call a witch doctor?

[@NikoMikkanen]

Could also try thoughts and prayers.

[@Novacification]

I love River Cottage and Hugh, but homeopathic treatment... Might as well wave a stick around.

[@pauloamw]

Novacification If it works, It works.

[@robertcullen8974]

@@pauloamw Well yeah, but the problem is that it doesn't work

[@callummason6589]

It it didn't work they wouldn't have burned your ancestors for it.

[@David-lu4gq]

@@callummason6589 Ok Karen.

[@callumtyler9699]

Why do we not get to see the slaughter?

[@InternalMind]

Cos you're a perve

[@callumtyler9699]

InternalMind or maybe its because they don't want to show you how your food is really brought to your plate... Even in the best raised conditions, murder is murder and is something no one likes to watch. So why support it?

[@InternalMind]

Callum Tyler I've killed one or two pigs myself, back in the old days when i was about 17 living in the countryside in Madeira with my family, so basicaly i know how the more or less the different ways food is brought to anyone's plate ;P

[@keripink5933]

My FaVrIoTe AnImAl iS A PiG Im MoovInG To A FaRm and were getting pigs so thanks for the tips im 9 btw

[@deanbridges572]

Its only me ! who gonna eat you ! lol

[@mukeshcuster]

the only time i've had to thumbs down one of your videos....homeopathic remedies, give me a break

[@scottgilmour2443]

This is horrific if he's going to eat them

[@David-lu4gq]

They aren't pets lad. They have been breed for food. He doesn't run a petting zoo you know?

[@SpeccyMan]

Snowflake.

[@karlauminga6404]

Well the best thing is that you should not create emotional attachments with the animals that you have raised as food especially with children. You can name the animals with food based names to set the line and prevent from creating the former.

[@mursu909]

watched pt1 and pt2 until i saw "homeopathic treatments", what's going on? some power crystals in recipes next?

[@Thisisit120]

I don’t know why they’re such negative comments about the Homeopathic treatments. Here in the US there use quite a bit with great results.

[@smilelikeUmeanit90]

Seriously, can you later kill the pigs? ...They are such lovely cosmic beings...

[@Trakehner20]

My husband couldn't do it. Ours would be pets and land mngmt.

[@SpeccyMan]

They are lovely, especially with some apple sauce. 😁

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

I ended up keeping my first pigs as pets then I became a vegetarian... let's just say things didn't work out the way it was meant to.

[@nudl3Zz]

I think that would happen to me too :-D

[@gabrielpacheco3459]

+Laura Te Aho-White Yeah I eat meat like crazy but i do also love animals, i try to stay away from products that dont kill the animals the fastest way

[@TheQueenAnnesRevenge]

Oy! We must take the pigs to the "abitwa" we jolly well will. Uhh... What? And I thought things were degenerating here in the States. I've shot and butchered several wild hogs and when I raise them this summer, I will act like a real man and a real farmer and butcher them squealers myself.

[@07negative56]

The English do what their government tells them to do.

[@SpeccyMan]

Abattoir.

[@SpeccyMan]

@@07negative56 No we bloody well don't!
