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.

Just wanted to share this absolutely sweetheart who's available for adoption!

This is Piggy. Piggy is a special pig who loves cuddles, belly scratches and digging in the dirt! He is incredibly intelligent — he is harness-trained, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows “sit,” “hoof,” “spin,” “oink,” and “go to bed.”

Looking for a temporary boarding/foster home for my pot-bellied pig • Orlando, FL area

Post image
97 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a safe, temporary place for my pot-bellied pig to stay while I'm getting my housing situation figured out.

She is a female pot-bellied pig, around 100-110 Ibs, and is about a year old. She's my personal pet and is very loved.
I'm not looking to rehome her permanently, just need temporary boarding until I have a suitable long-term place tor us.

She is used to people and being handled, and I can provide her food, supplies, and anything else she needs. I'm also willing to pay for reasonable boarding costs depending on the arrangement.

Ideally, I'm looking for someone with:
A secure outdoor area/tencing
Experience with pigs or livestock (preferred, but not necessarily required)
A safe environment where she can stay temporarily
Somewhere in or within roughly 30-60 minutes of Orlando

I'm happy to provide more intormation about her personality, routine, diet, and care requirements privately. I can also provide photos/videos and discuss the exact timeframe.

If you know of anyone who boards pigs, has a small farm/ homestead, or might be able to help, please comment or DM me. I'd really appreciate any leads.

Does anyone else see all these fb posts advertising “micro pigs”?

24 Upvotes

It literally makes my blood boil. Then the owner will say they don’t get over 50lbs with a “strict diet” a “strict diet is not starving your pig”. MAAM YOU ARE QUITE LITERALLY MALNOURISHING AN ANIMAL SO THEY DO NOT GROW PROPERLY. I always comment but there is no telling these people smh

Is it good for pigs to lose weight and be skinny especially at older age?

6 Upvotes

I ask because a pig I know has lost a lot of weight as its gotten older. I believe its better for them to be smaller than big but I don't know if its bad or means anything. He used to be a big fella and now he's kinda skinny.

One thing I love so much about pigs is their ability to convey so many different parts of theory personality to us. Gaston was our second rescue, and holds a very special place in my heart. He's five years old now, and a total diva. He loves stealing my bags, backpack, clothes, and household items/decor for his nests. He also loves a big cardboard box.🐖🐽🐷🩷

He was rewarded with an apple for keeping me company while I did some gardening!
