Little Piggy Yummy or Friend?

[etschell]

Someone is making very small pigs as pets, or possible food sources.

I see food, but if my girlfriend sees this she's going to want one as a companion for our cat.

I wouldn't want to eat one of those. Why eat the little cute one when the fat ugly one tastes just as good and gives more meat? I'm sure a regular pig is cheaper too- just more bang for your buck unless you're looking for a pet.

One step closer... (extremely NSFW, mind, etc.)

Why eat smaller birds when we can eat turkeys and ostriches?!?! I dont give a how cute it is. If it tastes good, it tastes good.

If they had them REALLY micro, like, 6-8" tall adults, then I'd totally want one.

With those breeding rates they sound more like pests then pets.

Any concern from pig farmers that some of these pets go rogue and they end up with midget pigs?

You got your pet in my pig!
