They get rushed to a special hospital for pigs and then go to live long happy lives with other porcine MI survivors on a farm far, far away.

I've heard they have a great staff of dogtors.

oh, the heart attacks weren't accidental. They imaged the pig real time while inducing a heart attack to see how the muscle deformed. I never did ask what they did with the dead pigs, but they did have special carts to wheel them around the hospital. People didn't like seeing sedated pigs in the hospital so they had a cart with high sides and they'd throw a sheet over it.

They get a "That'll do, pig" and a pat on the head.

They end up on my dinner plate as a delicious high-protein meal.

Careful, or they might eventually become a human heart attack!

No reason to gloat. Yea, I eat them too, but not proud of my actions.

Not gloating. I genuinely enjoy eating pork and meat in general. It's the most nutritious food a human can eat in my humble opinion. I hold no shame in eating and enjoying meat.

If I was a scientist and a piggie died as part of an experiment or whatever. I would do my best to eat the piggie and not let any part of it end up in the trash and going to waste.

> It's the most nutritious food a human can eat in my humble opinion.

Citation needed on this one. I'm curious.

If parent means nutritious as rich in energy than it has plenty of calories indeed (though sugary drinks will easily beat it)

If they mean as in provides many kind of nutrition, it is still false as it is mostly fat and protein. It is quite homogenous to be called nutritious.

Yes

They're not accidental.

They stick a metal rod, that's been frozen in liquid nitrogen, into the piggy's heart.

This kills the heart cells.

Then they stuff the piggy into an MRI machine and take a picture of its heart -- because an alive piggy's heart beats and makes the picture blurry.

Then the scientists get a pretty picture on their computers and high-five one another.

Success, they all think: "mission accomplished. Funding secured."
