NATURE’s The Joy of Pigs explores the extraordinary variety and success of these often misunderstood mammals.
Pigs may be in vogue today among filmmakers and Beverly Hills society matrons, who stroll around with potbellied porkers while shopping on Rodeo Drive. But this ubiquitous animal has been around since before the Ice Age — and in some parts of the world, pigs have been treated like stars for centuries.
The surprising allure of this creature in all its astonishing varieties is the subject of The Joy of Pigs The program guides viewers around the globe for a look at exotic wild pigs and an exploration of the different roles that domesticated pigs play in human societies.

Od dawna szukałem artykułu na temat The Joy of Pigs – Introduction | Nature | PBS . Dzięki
I’m writing a novel about our pet pig named Willy. I looked up this site to find anything else I didn’t’ know about pigs to add in some way to my book. Is that stupid? I don’t think so. And pigs, I find are extremely intelligent, sensitive, funny animals. They don’t like their pens dirty and they don’t smell. At least Willy doesn’t. So don’t be a hater of pigs until you really get to know one!
Ok most of you shouldnt say anything if you have never owned or been around a pig. Some pigs are smart and some are not. You can say pigs are fat but thats just the way they are, just like hippos and panda bears. Some pigs are cute and some are not. If you dont like the article or you cant understand it then get off. Just saying.
I rescued two pigs from an intensive farm, they are more like people than we would like to admit in terms of their emotional and intellectual complexity. When I look in their eyes I know they think and understand. This is my Wise Pig’s facebook page:
