Do the pigs show affection? Do they recognize and remember you and follow you around like a dog or cat would?

Yes to all of the above.

 

[CaramelSmoothie]

Yes to all of the above.

As a person who loves bacon and sausage, this is not what I wanted to hear, lol.

Your affection is just mutual. Is that so bad?

When I was a kid long ago my family had a sow I made a pet of. Used to ride it like a pony. Pigs are very intelligent and do show affection. I ended up eating that pig. If you grow up on a farm you learn the hard way to not make pets of livestock!

As I was waiting for the answer I was thinking "please let the answer be no, please let the answer be no!"', lol

By the way, we should change to Gentlemen's and Ladies' Agreement, no?

 

[fedoracentric]

A "gentlepeople's" agreement?

You are all clearly enlightened men, please sign my petition to end the suffrage of women.

Thank you for your kind attention.

 

[fedoracentric]

I am 100% for the end of suffrage for woman.
But for some reason, my wife does not agree.

 

[TheDane]

I get your point. "Husband up for election" ... that's a tight spot to be in! lol

It was already answered and I wholeheartedly confirm. Intelligence wise they are on dog level and effortlessy outsmart horses.
I have put dogs, goats, pigs and horses togenther to obeserve their interaction and try learn lessons for our own interatcion with horses.
It was amazingly ... confronting. We act like the dogs, predators, invoking behavior by pressure.
The pigs were totally different and the more extrovert males best at it; the male chauvinist pigs were the bets horese whisperers.

A totally unexpected turn of events was that the grandmother pig fell head over heels in love with the stallion.
She would follow him around making in-love sounds and he would patiently indulge her. Quite admirably so as he has a harem of 5 mares.
