Pigs as Pets
June 30, 2009 on 8:01 am | By admin | In ReferenceRaising pigs, often thought of as the province of farmers or ranchers, is actually gaining in popularity among a circle of “pigs as pets” enthusiasts who are eager to establish the noble domesticated swine as a house hold pet. Many of these breeders and pig aficionados speak of the pig as the premier or ideal pet – the pet of the future. For one thing, pigs are hypoallergenic so those who normally suffer from the allergies associated with dog and cat fur or dander will not have to sneeze their way through pet ownership. Also, pigs are incredibly intelligent animals considered either on par if not superior to the dog and many pig breeders will boast as to just how many tricks or command their pet pig can follow. The pig has become so popular as a pet, in fact, that even George Clooney is reported to be raising pigs and if celebs are now into, well, then it has to be a good idea!
