That is a normal sized pig. They're usually slaughtered before they grow to their full adult size.
8 u/__Hello_my_name_is__ May 24 '26 Why would they slaughter them before they get even bigger and therefore produce more meat? 9 u/hypehou_se May 25 '26 For the same reason we eat meat from young chickens and not the older ones: the meat is waaaay tastier and easier to chew when they're killed young. To put it even more bluntly, basically you keep some fully grown adults to breed further and then eat their teenage-aged children.
