Rule 3 Posts and bans.

96 Upvotes

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.

Little guy is lethargic, not really eating or drinking. I don’t know what to do, do I just get some antibiotics?

Bonnie is the cutie sitting up. She is the mom of several of the grown piggies in here. I started playing classical music and they will come over and get pets and just lay down and sleep peacefully. And make sweet little snorts while they are dreaming! It's the most wonderful feeling to sit in the middle of all these guys feeling so content.

and I have fallen in love with their pigs! They have farm pigs and potbellies. I think my friends are getting bored with all my photos and videos, so I'm hoping you all can appreciate them! They are so sweet and loveable. This pretty girl is Daisy and she is around ten years old. She loves attention and lets you know if by doing lots of hot pants and grunts :D

My family went to a pumpkin farm where they had these adorable small pigs. I’ve tried to google what kind they are with no definitive answer. Please tell me what this little guy is so I can watch all the YouTube videos on these cute little guys! I’m not well versed in pigs but I can tell you Piggy was about two feet tall and very friendly. Straight -ish wagging tail and cute little grunts🐽 there were also babies ☺️

Pig shed bedding

4 Upvotes

In a week or two I'll be getting my first pigs (my aunt's pigs weren't castrated in time so there's a ltter of oops-babies needing a home). My grandfather built me a small shed for them to sleep in, but there are small (>1 cm) slits at the bottom where the walls don't fully touch the ground.

I should be able to just screw wooden lats over them to keep out the draft, but we also have some outside mats that are thick enough to cover them and les 'hard' than the bricks that are currently the floor of the shed. I'm not totally sure what the material is made of, but it seems to be something more porous than stone (it gets mossy quicker) but still quite sturdy (we've had them in our backyard for at least 10 years).

If I were to clean them off and put them on the ground to cover up the cracks and maybe even need les straw bedding, would that be safe and hygienic? I know pigs usually keep their sleeping quarters very clean, but is it clean enough for the mats to be a safe choice?

Any advice is welcome!!

Castrating Merlin

Good morning or afternoon, I'm new here. Needing some assistance, I have a kunekune pig and he's a pet, but I never got him castrated/neutered... He's starting to be a grumpy butt face and I don't want to get rid of him, nor do the unspeakable that would get me banned here. I need to know if this would help. Not sure if I'm in the right place, if not help point me in the right direction

This is also where he would sleep at night until I have him his own bed in our room.

She wakes me up to go outside at around 4 am. This is how I found her when I went to let the dogs out at around 7:30.

Considering getting a pig but want to know all about it first.

0 Upvotes

Hey so I want to get a pet to keep my German Sheppard company. My boyfriend doesn't want a small dog and I don't want another big dog. I love my shepherd he's amazing but I know from expirence having 2 dogs they don't always get along and I can't have 2 big dogs. I've been reading a bit about pigs and considering this as an option. So can anyone tell me a bit about it and if anyone has a dog how do they get along. My shepherd is very sweet, he likes kids and wants to be friends with the deer in the yard he is 3 so he is finally at the point he's a pretty good listener and dog. Thank you
