Why are pigs the most intelligent animals?
Pigs are intelligent animals. They are smarter than any other domesticated animals. Studies suggest that they are capable of playing video games and solving puzzles and that they also have a long-term memory.
They also have excellent object-location memory. If they find grub in one spot, they’ll remember to look there next time. Pigs possess a sophisticated sense of direction too. They can find their way home from huge distances away.
Pigs are sentient beings, who experience joy, loneliness, frustration, fear, and pain just like the animals with whom many of us share our lives.
Despite this, most pigs are kept in cruel factory farms. Pregnant sows are confined in barren metal cages so small they’re unable to turn around, piglets are castrated without painkillers, and sick piglets are slammed headfirst into concrete floors.
There’s an obvious contradiction in loving some animals while eating others. But people who are opposed to animal cruelty often find ways to justify their dietary habits. This usually includes clinging to the idea that eating meat is necessary for health.
The science is clear, however. We’re more than capable of living happy, healthy lives without eating meat or other animal products.
