I think any child has the time to look after 15+ pig to the standard that most of us on this site do. I suppose I high level of care is a standard that some think is up for debate.
Personally, I don't understand how spending an hour a day with even 8 guineas housed in a shed can be considered a high level of care. Lets face it, that is less then 10 minutes per pig not including the time it takes for cage cleaning and maintenance! In the end, what is this really leaving any pig with? Maybe a quick pat or nuzzle every other day? Oh yeah, and I forgot, the sows get a 1: 5 chance of dying alone in labour every so often. Sounds like a fun existance for the pig, and an amusing time for the caretaker.
Those that more or offer even less in care or have more pigs cause me to shake my head even more...
That being said, my plonker baby just broke a plate so I gotta go.
