Tuesday: I wonder if they are also known as potbelly pigs,I remember hearing of a guy who owned one in the apt I lived in back in the 90's.I think they have been outlawed as pets, at least in an apt
Jim Dandy: Sure seems like there are a lot of "pig sanctuaries" out there, trying to handle the ones that got much bigger than their owners expected (or were led to believe). Don't get me wrong: I like pigs. But I think you need to do your research first.
wetware: I don't see it being a realistic option now that I've learned they are classified as livestock, but from the little I've learned they seem to be able to be trained to live in a house.
Tuesday: At the 1992 American Academy of Forensic Sciences conference in New Orleans, a forensic pathologist stated that individuals living alone sometimes died unexpectedly and unnoticed. He claimed that, in his experience, a pet dog would go for several days before it resorted to eating the owner's body. A pet cat would wait only a day or two. What he didn't mention was that cats are obligate carnivores and, unlike dogs (which are more omnivorous), cats cannot consume other potential foodstuffs that might be lying around the home (fruit, veg, cookies). For a dog, the corpse might be a last resort, but for an obligate carnivore, it may be the first resort.
Like other scavengers, those cats are doing a clean-up job. Without scavengers, we would be knee-deep in rotting flesh. Even when bodies are decently buried, it is being invisibly consumed
