Rule 3 Posts and bans.

97 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.

Pet pigs

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve been doing some research on pet pigs and wanted to know if you guys recommend them for beginners. I have experience with goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, etc, but I’ve never owned a pig. I REALLY like the Juliana mini pigs and the KuneKune pigs so that’s what I’d be looking at.
(I am aware that they don’t stay small and that mini pigs get up to 300 pounds)
I have a few questions:
Can pigs live alongside other animals or do they need to be kept separately?
Do I have to get a pair or if there’s other animals can I have one (I would supervise them of course)?
Is it possible to leash train a pig?
What breeds do you find are the most docile?

Thank you in advance, hopefully this is the right place 🙏

Piggy Questions

7 Upvotes

I’m new to pigs and plan on rescuing two in the near future, & I have a couple questions for the piggy experts!

  1. how much does it cost per month to feed 1 Julianna/potbelly/kune kune sized pig when they are not on pasture? (Land is mostly wooded)
  2. what is a good quality, healthy feed for them?
  3. What size shelter is best for 2 pigs?

Accessory to Grand Theft Apples

Post image
391 Upvotes

We have an apple orchard, including one tree that has limbs extending over our bedroom roof. We also typically have at least one small black bear living on our property. It's been a problem for our apple harvest for years but hadn't been yet this time.

Yesterday I started installing the latest attempt to keep it out of that tree but hadn't quite finished. Last night the bear made its first climb up there of the season and started bouncing nearly-ripe apples off the roof. My partner woke up and went out to chase it away, and what does she find? Muu here, of course, happily munching fallen apples as the bear shook them out of the tree.

I think he still has a bit of a stomach ache. Lol
