Rescue Pig Picks Out Flowers To Decorate Her House | The Dodo

[@seviregis7441]

Her story makes me so sad to think that other human beings are so cruel and evil. Precious little Lotus, look how sweet and aware she is. Cute little lady, she likes a nice comfy aromatic house like we do. God bless this sanctuary/ farm and everyone there.

@@brett255 it’s not spam, it’s the truth. Not only is it probably common practice to use pigs to train hunting dogs, we also violently slaughter billions every year for meat that we then mostly throw into landfills.

This is coming from a country girl who lived 1 mile from a dairy farm and that was bad enough. My mom used to hang sheets out on the line the day they cleaned out the cow barn.

[@davidmartin7561]

I have noticed in my lifetime throughout a large amount of animal species native to my area at least anyway that if you give them safety and food and they don't have to worry about any of those things again that allows them to think about who and what they are and who and what they want to be around and like and dislike and a developed personality it's amazing doesn't matter the animal what seems to matter is not having to worry about safety or food especially food pick any random animal and feed it on a regular basis and watch its personality come out or change

[@absbabs6153]

that's a good observation! And I think you're totally right, when there aren't constant stressors, or battle for survival, a lot of these animals, even chickens and turkeys, have unique quirks and personalities that people often don't see. I've even seen videos of fish with personalities, who can recognize their rescuers. We really need to change our perspective of animals

We had a single pig on our farm who was raised from a piglet. She was surprisingly intelligent. One day we saw her moving some square hay bales we had stacked next to the corral. At first we couldn't figure out what she was doing because she was pushing and moving some around. She eventually pushed them into a horseshoe pattern so it had three sides and one open side. She then grabbed the tarp that was laying next to the bales and drug the tarp over the arranged bales and created a shelter using the blue tarp for a roof covering. The pig made a small house/shelter out of what was laying around! We couldn't believe how smart and determined she was to build that shelter. She had the run of the place and plenty of shelter but she wanted one of her own..

I just by chance was changing the channels and it ended up on a 20/20 show that was reporting on the cruel practices of animals being readied for slaughter. After watching the five minutes or so that I saw I just quit eating meat the next day. Any meat, fish, chicken, "ANY ANIMAL PERIOD!" Not this half assed vegetarian stuff where they're still eating chickens and fish. Anyway, sorry to preach as I actually don't try to convert anyone because I just totally get it, that it must be hard to do.

Sweat might play a very minor role in toxin removal, but it is the liver and kidneys that filter the majority of toxins from mammal bodies. Kidneys excrete toxins via urine, and livers typically metabolize toxins to less toxic forms. Fine to not eat pork, but please check your facts and use your critical thinking skills!
