China’s Breeding Giant Pigs That Are as Heavy as Polar Bears

Isn't the availability of water resources a great concern for polar bear size pigs? Pigs are known for their high water needs and I imagine XXXL pig would even need more.

Good question. I wonder how that scales? Do 3 100 pound pigs need more or less than a single 300 pound pig? What about food as well? Maybe even waste, is there less or more or the same coming out?

What about from an ethics standpoint ? Is there less suffering when you compare a single 300 pound factory farmed pig to 3 100 pound pigs ?
