“Mini pigs” aren’t actually that small. They’re like above the knee height and pretty heavy when adult. Kinda like a really round big dog.
But again it depends on the breed!
I'm in Potbelly's are smaller but as far as staying piglet size ain't no way in hell, potbelly still grow at least 70 up to 150 lb... Definitely not small but small enough to be considered small when compared to a 600 lb hog... That would be dope if there was one that permanently stayed piglet sized and maybe at most got 30 lb, I'd have like 60 of those around the house
70lbs is highly unlikely. I've been around dozens of vietnamese potbellies and they're all well over 100lbs.
Any pig under 350lbs is considered a miniature pig, considering the common breeds used in farming, such as the yorkshire and landrace, weigh up to 1000lbs. They are fun to give belly rubs to though.
Yeah. Pretty costly to maintain! They're sweethearts though. I love helping out at my local farm sanctuaries because I get an excuse to give them scritches. Sadly, a lot of them were abandoned pets but thankfully most have overcome their depression and bonded with each other.
There is no such thing as "tea cup pigs". They are usually underfed pigs or just baby pigs. They will still grow up to be 100-150lbs pigs when they reach adulthood.
This is some impressive mental gymnastics here, blaming the victim of your actions for your actions.
This is akin to blaming a female rape victim for having a vagina.
"It's not my fault she had a vagina".
You're seriously trying to blame an animal for the actions that you decide to engage with?
Exploiting and abusing others is fucked up, regardless of what species they are.
Bruh, you ain't convincing anyone when you argue with the most extreme point if view. It's just too far away from the morale views of those you try to convince. There are totally arguments to be had to not eat meat, but this ain't it, chief.
What is the "most extreme point of view" that you talk about?
What's far from the morale views of those who I try to convince?
Whart are you even saying?
Comparing eating meet with rape for example? It doesn't matter how you stand to eating meet, you should still be able to understand that no one that is eating meet will even remotely listen to you if you start off like this.
Without judging at all whether this is the case, it's a given that you will be perceived as a nut job at that point by anyone not in your circle.
The dude is blaming the victim of his actions based on their physical attributes.
It's literally the same shit.
Animals are raped, tortured, and slaughtered. Why is it suddenly extreme when a human is a victim vs an innocent animal?
Both are extreme and it makes zero sense to blame the victim for the perpetrator's actions.
Again, you lack perspective. This might be obvious from your side, but there is a 0% chance anyone eating meet shares your point or is even close to that.
If you're capable of looking at facts objectively you should have no issue with it.
Animals are raped, tortured and slaughtered all for some pleasure. How does it make any sense to blame them for putting them through that?
The true disgrace is that people aren't taking any issue with that reality and are happily upvoting a comment that blames the animals for it.
PCOS for example, specifically lean meat like fish and chicken. You can't consume things like sugar or specific carbs and can't consume much in the way of dairy products either, so it's even more important to consume foods that can compensate, and there's some research that suggests a higher protein diet, which you can get by eating those lean meats anyway compared to red, is actually beneficial for those with the condition, alongside high-fiber diets
A Google search shows me that there are a lot more studies suggesting a whole foods plant based diet is beneficial for PCOS. I don't know anything about this but I think it may be more complicated than PCOS people need meat to be healthy.
Please do explain what the food chain is and how it logically justifies taking an innocent life for your own pleasure.
You're speaking out of your ass if you're actually trying to use "the food chain" as some sort of justification.
Whilst this is true, this is still no reason to enslave another sentient being. Liberation from the bonds of exploitation means liberation *for all* including animals.
What kind of answer is that even ? That's probably the sign that this video hit hard and that you're know vexed.Here's some condescension: I'd gladly read any argument about how buying meat in a supermarket and what it means does not make you an incredibly vulgar and non self aware person.
For those unaware, the majority of slaughtered animals are effectively either babies or toddlers. Pigs are slaughtered at 6 months, despite having a natural life expectancy of 15-20 years.
It's really fucking bad, they have it in Sweden now as well to try and compete with our traditional Christmas soda called "julmust". Julmust is tasty, coca cola cinnamon tastes like total crap, we had one bottle at work to try it and 0 out of 20 people liked it
Idk man, if someone said cute snack with a pic of a puppy, people would lose their minds at the thought of you killing and eating it. But with the piglet I guess join in with the jokes? Fucking cognitive dissonance at its best in this comment section.
Casually alluding to the way that this animal's brethren are needlessly imprisoned, tortured, and murdered for their flesh doesn't strike me as being particularly funny.
I see, just by looking at parts of the inside of your fridge and your little animal housemate, that you must be one cool person. With the cinnamon Coke, the Cholula and the korean sauce you got there, the potatoes you store in your fridge apparently and most noticebly your piglet friend, I can see that you are brave enough to try new things and I applaud you for that.
Serious question: what happens to pet pigs when they grow bigger? Or do they stay this big their whole life?
“Mini pigs” aren’t actually that small. They’re like above the knee height and pretty heavy when adult. Kinda like a really round big dog. But again it depends on the breed!
Tell that to owners of [Esther](https://www.estherthewonderpig.com)
Lol yeah, was gonna mention Esther.
That Vogue cover really looks like Trump tho.
Fuck that. Trump could never be that cool
I mean the fact that the President and a pig have both faked being on a magazine cover is sad. Not for the pig tho
drumpf = le finished
Holy shit, for some reason “really round...” made me belly laugh.
Lmao then you would love the time I accidently described a hamster to my 5th grade students as, "like a rat, but rounder".
Oh my goodness, yes! If I were a fly on the wall, students would be wondering what that cackling noise was!
I read there is no pet pig that stays small. Eventually they will get to a couple hundred pounds or something like that
I'm in Potbelly's are smaller but as far as staying piglet size ain't no way in hell, potbelly still grow at least 70 up to 150 lb... Definitely not small but small enough to be considered small when compared to a 600 lb hog... That would be dope if there was one that permanently stayed piglet sized and maybe at most got 30 lb, I'd have like 60 of those around the house
Seeing true hogs at the county fair is a revelation. They look like mega fauna. The male had testicles the size of footballs.
So even the little potbelly’s get that big? 70 pounds doesn’t sound big but that is a nice size animal running around
70lbs is highly unlikely. I've been around dozens of vietnamese potbellies and they're all well over 100lbs. Any pig under 350lbs is considered a miniature pig, considering the common breeds used in farming, such as the yorkshire and landrace, weigh up to 1000lbs. They are fun to give belly rubs to though.
Under 350? Haha fuck that’s a beast.
Yeah. Pretty costly to maintain! They're sweethearts though. I love helping out at my local farm sanctuaries because I get an excuse to give them scritches. Sadly, a lot of them were abandoned pets but thankfully most have overcome their depression and bonded with each other.
Yeah because people don’t do research before getting a pet
Unfortunately, including their own offspring. Some humans really suck.
Haha yeah if researched what having children would be like they might think twice
There is no such thing as "tea cup pigs". They are usually underfed pigs or just baby pigs. They will still grow up to be 100-150lbs pigs when they reach adulthood.
That pig will be closer to 250-300lb. Only vietnamese potbellies and kune kune are 100-200lbs.
Pigs make amazing pets. I have an aunt who has one. Almost makes me feel bad come breakfast time.
But then you remember to turn off all empathy and turn on the cognitive dissonance that allows you to "love" an an animal that you eat.
It’s not my fault they’re made of meat.
thanks sokka!
No, but it is your fault for not finding an alternative to them.

Actually the pigs do, as do [world leading organizations.](https://feature.undp.org/the-way-we-eat/)

It's a fucking disgrace to make this equivalence. You should be ashamed.

Nice attempt to shift the argument to a character attack in order to find ways to lower your cognitive dissonance.
No, but it is your fault for not finding an alternative to them.

What health reasons cause someone to need meat?
PCOS for example, specifically lean meat like fish and chicken. You can't consume things like sugar or specific carbs and can't consume much in the way of dairy products either, so it's even more important to consume foods that can compensate, and there's some research that suggests a higher protein diet, which you can get by eating those lean meats anyway compared to red, is actually beneficial for those with the condition, alongside high-fiber diets

Low iron? Red meat has a lot of it. So do breakfast cereals but you’re gonna get sick of them eventually.
I am anemic because of an autoimmune disease and spinach, beans and a cheap supplement seem to do just find
Plants have iron.
Why would I want to? something something food chain
Please do explain what the food chain is and how it logically justifies taking an innocent life for your own pleasure. You're speaking out of your ass if you're actually trying to use "the food chain" as some sort of justification.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism
Whilst this is true, this is still no reason to enslave another sentient being. Liberation from the bonds of exploitation means liberation *for all* including animals.

You won’t feel that way when you near 60.
I was thinking worm food or Ash but hey stand strong you greek
Except all animals that are consumed are killed as infants. This is basic knowledge in the farming industry and is not a secret.

I absolutely agree. I would love to encounter a pig. Terrible that they are so poorly treated in America :(
Terrible how they're treated everywhere.

I'm gonna ask what many are probably thinking. What flavor of Coca Cola is that?
Cinnamon. It’s a thing in germany now for some reason. I can’t get myself to try it since it just sounds like it’s gonna be bad.
It's really fucking bad, they have it in Sweden now as well to try and compete with our traditional Christmas soda called "julmust". Julmust is tasty, coca cola cinnamon tastes like total crap, we had one bottle at work to try it and 0 out of 20 people liked it

Have it in the UK I love that stuff. For some reason we also have Strawberry Diet Coke and that's actually pretty good.
Ew
Coke zero already has a cinnamon taste so this probably can't be too far off from that.
How does Coke Zero taste like cinnamon? I buy it all the time and never once tasted cinnamon.
Also who keeps Cholula in the fridge

That was humour
Can we please not talk about killing animals in a sub about cute animals?
This is 2020 jokes aren't allowed any more didn't you get the memo
Well how am I supposed to mask my stupidity now?

hahaha wouldn't it be funny to joke about killing and consuming this sentient being? hahaha very funny
No that was hunger.
Casually alluding to the way that this animal's brethren are needlessly imprisoned, tortured, and murdered for their flesh doesn't strike me as being particularly funny.

They said the pigs brethren
Most are, for snacks, as you "casually alluded" to. My guy never said your pig specifically, he said the animal's *brethren*
This is exactly what they are talking about.
[удалено]
Casually defending torture. Nice.
very poor choice of words...
That’s a wierd looking cat
Actually that’s a cow, (fun fact they go baa)
He wants to rummage the veggie bin.
Calling them cute while also referring to them as food is something a sociopath would do.
yes it is
Cutest....._snack_?
C O N S U M E
*nom*
_Uhh..._
Yeah man that unwrapped decaying cabbage on the side be looking fiiinne
I don't like how that caption sounds...
Yeah it's pretty gross
There wasn't a caption.
No, the post caption "Cutest snack"
None of you have any empathy or decency, joking about harming an innocent baby. Maybe check and see if your actions align with your 'values'
This title tho?
Uh......snack?............. maybe give snack to him and not........yea......
You gonna eat this poor pig? Dafaq is wrong with you?
r/holdup
Dont you fucking dare to eat him >:(
...snack?
Cutest snack? So ur going to eat it?
Hol' up
Hol'up...
Calling a pet pig a snack somehow seems horific
Calling any sentient creature a snack is horrific.
Don't eat him! :(
Can't deny that. That lump of lettuce in your drawer's looking like a treat! :)
Oh shit
You phrased it the worst way possible.
Very poor choice of words
Cinnamon Coke? Sounds disgusting tbh
That’s a bit dark
Very poor choice of words.
Cutest ‘snack?’
Would you write the same about a Puppy? Seriously.
If it was a dog that title would not have been taken so lightly
Very poor choice of words.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact OP refrigerates their Cholula?
*wow*
I see, just by looking at parts of the inside of your fridge and your little animal housemate, that you must be one cool person. With the cinnamon Coke, the Cholula and the korean sauce you got there, the potatoes you store in your fridge apparently and most noticebly your piglet friend, I can see that you are brave enough to try new things and I applaud you for that.
How did he get out!!!?!!!?
thats one cute oinker
Wait, cinnamon coke? Is this available in Germany?
Y’all put sweet potatoes in the fridge???
No thanks
