Pet Pig ????!!!! Eisboch Yeah. We got him as a frostbitten, tiny piglet. We raised him in the house, feeding him from a bottle until he got old enough to eat on his own. He was a great pet, would jump on the couch, sit in my lap, beg to be petted, just like a dog. However, they grow up and get heavy. When it jumped on the couch and put its hoof through the cushion, it got banned from the couch. Once it hit about 250lbs, it didn't fit on my lap anymore. It went to the butcher shop, Neither my mother nor my younger brothers would eat bacon unless they saw it come out of the store package! Did you see Porky's picture? Cute little guy, huh? -- John H.

Don't get me wrong, no issue with sending your pig off to the butcher, but your pet pig for Sunday dinner? I've eaten beef I've known personally, but never a pet. ; ) |
