National Pig Day
March 1st, 2013
When many people think of pigs they think of mud and slop, or else bacon and bacon. But there's so much more to love about these rotund creatures, and that's precisely why sisters Ellen Stanley and Mary Lynne Rave started National Pig Day in 1972. Did you know that the reason pigs roll around in the mud is to cool themselves off since they do not sweat? Or that pigs place fourth on the animal intelligence list? Perhaps pigs aren't just for dinner; they also make for charming dinner guests.
Have you ever owned a pig?
Alive, no. Have a couple of stuffed animal pigs around here somewhere, though : )
In ham, bacon, and pork form- most definitely : )
Nope never owned a pig and to be honest with you no matter what their intellegence is I wouldn't own one other than to slaughter. I know how mean they can be and have been attacked by a pig before.
Yes, but it was for meat. I never got close to the pigs I liked the cows more.
MY FIRST BACON!! Bought this for my 13/yo DD for xmas. He says "I'm Bacon" when you press him. She laughs and laughs.. good to know they are still easily amused at 13. =)
