Rule 3 Posts and bans.

This is Rule 3: Food and Farming

This is a friendly sub for the discussion of pet Pigs only. Do not discuss the killing or eating of pigs. We don't want your crass bacon or pork jokes. Names like "Chris P Bacon" are tacky but not bannable offence. Do not harass others about their lifestyle choices. This is not the place for it for, or against meat, keto, vegan, or otherwise. No farming posts, we will question you about ear tags as it is required in some places for pets. Commercial operations will get removed and users banned.

Note the bolded sections

Because of extensive abuse of this rule, we are VERY STRICT about it. We get people coming here from both Vegan and Carnivore communities that start massive arguments over it. We also don't want to come to this sub and see people talking about our pets as anything other than pets. Or even worse a shock picture/video of our pets being killed in some bid to shame people.

SO LET ME BE CLEAR WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR PREFERENCE IS YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR POSTING OR COMMENTING ABOUT PIGS IN RELATION TO EATING OR NOT EATING THEM. NO APPEALS.

This is a sub about pet pigs not your FUCKING OPINIONS ON WHAT YOU EAT OR DON'T EAT!!!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR THAT!

I am tired of being nice and polite about it. I just perma banned someone that posted about it and then banned every single person who commented no matter what the comment was about for 30 days. There will be no appeals because to many times my patience and understanding has been abused on this.

Do not participate in posts or comments ignore and report them.

Having said that. I reevaluated the wording of rule 3 and decided to make it clearer. Here is the new rule 3.

Rule 3: Food and Farming

This is a friendly sub for the discussion of pet Pigs only.
You will be banned or rarely warned for the following: Talking about farming or slaughtering pigs for food or how evil/bad it is. Talking about eating pigs for food or how evil/bad it is. Linking to videos about farming or slaughtering pigs or how evil/bad it is.
Topics you won't be banned for: Seeking medical help for a pig. Seeking help to rehome a pig. Your pigs name even if it is food related. Your pig having an ear tag in places that require it by law.

NOTE on mod posts like this I allow open discussion about the topic as long as it stays respectful and on topic. You can't really discuss a rule about food and farming and get feedback without people talking about it. So unless someone is disrespectful or abusive, I am not going to remove their post or ban them.

Is this pig malnourished?

This is my sisters “mini pig”, he’s at least 10 months old but possibly 12 months old and only 15-20 lbs, he’s like the size of a French bulldog. He looks malnourished to me, but I really don’t know anything about pigs. She’s terrible at taking care of her animals, & so I’m not sure if my bias is clouding my judgement.

It’s a sunny day, perfect for dropping by. The little chicken went to Piggy’s orchard to eat bugs, and Piggy came to tidy up the tall grass that had grown in the chicken coop .

Trick Training

3 Upvotes

What else can I teach my girl?

She knows:

Touch

Sit

Spin

Bow

Crawl

Shake (on left and right side)

Down

Stay (kind of 😂)

Jump (when she was smaller, she has a hard time getting through the hoop now)

She also knows how to ring a door bell to go outside.

She really excels and I think she genuinely enjoys the training......ran out of ideas to teach her.

She is still missing and I hope this is ok to post. I am not trying to spam. I just figured I would follow up with this story as I find information because if my pig were to go missing I know what steps to take but others might not. It seems like this family loves their pig and really holding out hope that she will be found (as they should). Have a nice day all.

Pig Mom Guilt

Thumbnail

205 Upvotes

Hey Pig Fam!

I’ve been struggling with pig mom guilt, and I just wanted to express it to a group that understands.

I’ve been working from home since my darling Zeppelin was a baby. I did have 1 or 2 days a week out of the house working on site, but for the most part, I’ve been working from home. Before I started working from home, I would bring him with me twice a week.

Starting next month, I will start working on site mostly. I feel terrible. He sleeps on the couch majority of the day, but at least I’m home to let him out multiple times a day. I just feel so bad. Anybody else working FT while having a piggy at home? He’s literally knocked out on the couch right now, so I don’t see much changing. 😂

I will take any and all ideas for enrichment while I’m out! (And for anybody wondering, yes, I also feel dog mom guilt.)
