To the critics of this video, I think you are being unfair to say it’s lame. I am a bacon eater, but watching this video, which, ironically I discovered during eating bacon as a result of a sudden conscious consideration popping into my head as to where the meat comes from; it enlightened me to the fact that other animals really could be recognised as pets in the very same manner we recognise cats and dogs as friends of the family. So my oppinion of this video is that it is well made, for it proves that we lack the sight to look beyond what we currently recognise as animals for friends and animals we otherwise only see as a food source and nothing else. This shows the pig to be as friendly and fun to have, and as viable a pet for the home as our more traditional pet! So it makes you consider the ignorance of our views – which otherwise see them as dumb food sources we care not to appreciate as anything other than meat. Consider this fact when you criticise the Chinese for eating cats and dogs, for you are likewise when you diss this video with your unflexible views! This, though, still doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll stop eating bacon, either, though. A complex indeed!

What a heaping steaming pile of…scrapple. Humans did not evolve as vegetarians or herbivores — we are omnivores. If any of you clueless pansies had the slightest experience with the real world, actual farming, raising farm animals, growing food rather than buying it shrink-wrapped, boxed or canned, then you might have an opinion worhty of consideration. But you don’t and you don’t. So you vegan dopes can choose to naturally deselect yourselves and I’ll continue to enjoy my position at the top of the food chain! Now I think I’ll go eat a vegetarian.

After meeting some pigs and seeing that they were super intelligent… yeah, I’m one of those guys that actually decided it’s best I don’t indulge in something our ancestors only ate once or twice a year (meat). This may make me sound gay or weak or whatever, but I’m a proud vegetarian. And guess what? It’s all about the compassion. COMPASSION is what could bring peace to this world!

OK, no more bacon. I’ll limit my self to pork chops, ribs, Canadian bacon, and carnitas!

Is that song being used with permission?

What are we supposed to do with all the domesticated pigs in the world? Distribute them as house pets? The whole species exists only because they were domesticated for food use. How many wild boars are still left in the wild, by comparison?

I don’t know who will stop eating bacon again after watching this. Maybe a girl, because they like teddy bears a lot.
This video is lame because it shows a piglet treated more or less like a teddy bear or a doll, out of his natural context, having to fight with boxes, and trying to eat bags. The message seems to be more “take a piglet as your next fashion accessory” (after chihuauas you know) than “respect the life of piglets, don’t eat them”. That said, is clear that intensive farming conditions should be improved and the number of animals to go to the supermarkets should be very carefully pondered, avoiding useless sacrifices. But we can’t live in a vegan world, the only serious hope for a future without farm animals killings could only be artificial meat I think.

What this video should have tried to show is how the animals live in intensive facilities and how are they killed, and how beautiful they are when they live in nature and we meet them, imho.

The pig, in my opinion, is the tastiest of all animals. Nothing could ever make me give up bacon, certainly not a lame video like this one. At one point it looks like the dog agrees with me, check out when he tries to take a bite of the pig’s head : )

I’ll pay top dollar to anyone that can deliver that pig to me…alive or cut into tiny delicious pieces!

John,

Thanks for the comment. That is a fantastic article. I only wish I knew of some supplier like that in the Dallas, TX area. We don’t have a lot of farm land in this 6.5 million person city you know. ;-)

Oh, and I’m with you on the whole carnivore thing. :-)

We have a couple of rare-breed pigs on our small block in NZ. They are amazing, intelligent creatures with real personality. That said, I'm an unrepentant carnivore and bacon is one of my all time favourite tastes. One company in NZ has come to my moral rescue as they produce traditionally crafted bacon from free-range pigs. I blogged about a while back.
