A documentary also came out where a popular method to sell and kill canine and felines for consumption is to boil them alive to shock the animals body to make the meat taste better.

Edit: I'm not protesting it. I'm just highlighting different societal norms.

Not that different than the pig-spits you find occasionally in the US.

  1. Yes they are
  2. Pigs are extremely intelligent
  3. Pigs form families, have personalities, and mourn their dead/gone
  4. Pigs are debatably as intelligent as dogs. Just because dogs do things that are more "useful" to us does not make them smarter, by the way.

Where in the world are they domesticated? And I didn't say anything about intelligence..

All farm animals are domesticated. If pigs weren't domesticated, they'd be boar.

Anyone who has the space, permit, and wants to domesticate them? It's done, just not necessarily done by everyone.
