And the contradictions run rampant! If they are so well cared for, and get the medical care they need, why did you 'adopt' four sick pigs from the same store that is so caring and loving to their animals?
Seriously, how many times does it have to be explained? Even if you do not 'buy' the pig, you are still opening the spot up for another innocent sow to be overbred, another innocent baby pig to be thrown in that spot, and to be sold to the clueless 5 year old who gets bored with it after a week. Then, it either spends the rest of his life in a small, filthy cage and is malnourished, ignored, and dies a slow, sad death or the parents decide they don't want it and drop it off in a box somewhere. Which we have seen happen alot here on this board.
