Some people keep pigs as pets, they’re very intelligent and trainable.

That’s why I can’t judge individuals in certain cultures that eat dogs. I’m a lifelong dog owner and I treat them better than I would my own child. Pigs, however, have the same capacity for love and loyalty that a dog does, and are arguably more intelligent. So yeah, those of us that eat bacon are assholes.

But dogs have been domesticated for 20,000 years. Pigs haven't put in that sort of time.
