There's a difference between an accidental pregnancy, which was the case for the OP in this thread, and intentionally breeding your animals for selfish reasons - which is what you did. Because you wanted to have the offspring of a pig you loved, you risked your sow's life and created more lives when there's an already massive overpopulation problem. But of course you probably don't care about that - after all, you've got what you want and who cares what you've risked or harmed to have it. How shamefully selfish.

Outstanding? You paid to buy living creatures just the same as you'd pay to buy a new shirt or box of cookies. This "reputable store" no doubt replaced the pigs you bought with one or two or three more - they likely got them from a horrid breeding mill and will continue to do the same so long as you and people like you don't see the slightest problem with buying a sentient creature just the same as you'd buy a pair of jeans.

We don't believe in
intentional breeding, what you specialize in. The pups in this thread were not the result of an intentional act, they were the result of an accidental litter when a person had what she believed to be two females sharing a cage that turned out to be a male and female. Surely you can understand the difference, unless of course you're only interested in stirring up a fight where there's no cause for one.

It matters very much if the place the pig is acquired from is a place that abuses and mistreats those pigs, and if the buying of the animal helps to perpetuate a cruel cycle of abuse and back-to-back breeding.
