Pigs are highly intelligent and sympathetic creatures. I'm told that they're more intelligent than dolphins. Please do not malign them, and please consider not eating them.

It was a Pulp Fiction reference. A dog's got personality.

I have two pigs. They've very clean animals. Only pigs that are forced to live in piles of their own feces are "filthy." A pig with options will use mud to protect them from the sun but they prefer to bathe in water. Calling cops "pigs" is insulting to my pigs.

I really appreciate the defense here of the pig.
