This little guy is Eric, a Farm Sanctuary rescue. He was injured and left to die by a farmer on a pig farm until someone stepped in and asked if they could have him. Story

Sheep really do suck.
Ducks aren't much better.

[–]iDgiraffe 3 points4 points ago

As someone who has recently hatched 8 ducklings I give you my upvote. Filthy little fucks, but they're damn cute.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Duck makes better meat, though.

Nah, you're just trying to push them through the gate. With your dick.

[–]lbr218 1 point2 points ago

Why do people post on /r/aww if all they are going to talk about is how bacon tastes good? It's a really old joke. And not funny.

[–]Werewolfgirl34 1 point2 points ago

Holy fuck people on reddit need to come up with better jokes. "HEY GUYS! IT'S A PIG! PIGS ARE BACON! DURRRRRR"

[–]fredandlunchbox 6 points7 points ago

That's an adorable bacon machine you got there.

[–]Carpetfizz 7 points8 points ago

After seeing these kinds of pictures, why would anyone still want to eat meat???

[–]JakeCameraAction 27 points28 points ago

Bacon, pork, pork chops, pulled pork, hotsogs, chicken cordon bleu, ham, ham omelettes, pulled pork, barbecue, pork shoulder, pork butt, bologna, bratwurst, pork sausage.

And that's just that one animal.

[–]IAmSedders 15 points16 points ago

Yes Lisa, a wonderful, magical animal!

[–]clintonius 4 points5 points ago

I didn't know chicken came from pigs.

[–]JakeCameraAction 6 points7 points ago

Chicken cordon bleu is a chicken breast with ham and cheese then breaded and fried.

[–]clintonius 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I know. It was a joke.

[–]JakeCameraAction 2 points3 points ago

It is impossible to tell through text.
Let's say I give you an upvote and we walk away.

[–]clintonius 1 point2 points ago

Deal!

[–]Trolololroflmao 2 points3 points ago

Love how everyone gets along when it comes to upvotes. (Also, I'm new here.)

[–]FriENTS_F0r_Ev3r -1 points0 points ago

And bacon.

[–]Aikarus 1 point2 points ago

Because I love how it tastes and years of being raised catholic has made good at cognitive dissonance. So I can look at some meat and think "yummy, meat!" and some cute pig and go "oh cute little baby pig!" but also "they are totally not related in any way and I'll go on my merry way"

:) I like meat

[–]Werewolfgirl34 2 points3 points ago

At least you admit to the cognitive dissonance, better than most people.

[–]Crocodilly_Pontifex 2 points3 points ago

Cuteness is delicious.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]J0ed1rt 7 points8 points ago

As a hunter, I'm okay with that.

[–]screaming4metal 0 points1 point ago

As a human, I am ok with that.

[–]twothumbs 7 points8 points ago

How is that a good point? By that mentality, we'd only be allowed to eat ugly things/things that aren't cute. You'd be saying that things that are ugly deserve to be eaten, and those that are pretty deserve to live. To me that idea is much worse than simply eating these animals because that's what we humans were made to do (note your canines, those weren't made for eating apples).

Side point, I would gladly kill/skin any animal I want to eat. It would ensure freshness. This is obviously not practical but if you could make this happen I'd be forever in your debt

[–]Havefa1th 0 points1 point ago

Why did I read your side point in Dwight's voice from The Office?

[–]twothumbs 0 points1 point ago

People don't just eat meat because it tastes good and I'm not angry. I just resent anyone who looks down on other people because of their own beliefs.

[–]twothumbs 0 points1 point ago

Short answer: yes.

There are many reasons to eat meat, if I started listing them I might not stop haha.

The only thing I find unethical about eating meat the way the meat industry works, is the way the animals are treated sometimes. Animals that are bred solely for the purpose of consumption and slaughtered mercilessly, is pretty horrible if you think about it. Why do I continue eating meat? because being a vegetarian won't even stop this process. You're better off supporting places that are more humane to them than simply boycotting meat altogether.

Also eating meat is a cultural thing, almost all the dishes and recipes my family makes includes at least a small chunk of meat. Meat wasn't as plentiful back then so a lot of dishes will only require a small amount of it for flavor/protein. When I eat this food, I'm keeping old traditions alive and you even get a small glimpse of what your great grandparents and ancestors ate like. It's history you can eat.

And while we're on the subject of family, if you stop eating meat then you create a rift between yourself and all other meat eaters. The rift could be ignored and compensated for, but it will always be there. You end up detaching yourself from the majority and no one likes that.

There's always the argument that the animals would eat you, no problem (if they could).

There's the scientific reasons too. We are predators, our eyes are on the front our heads, there are the aforementioned canines, designed specifically for eating meat, and (if you believe in evolution, and I'm sure you do) we evolved from chimpanzees, an animal that goes hunting and requires meat to survive. It's in our blood to eat meat, it's not just the taste, it's like asking why people have sex. It's not just because it feels good. I have a carnal desire to eat meat and when I eat it, I am satisfying a very specific desire that cannot go away by eating tofu.

There are also religious reasons that I won't bother saying because no one really respects religion here.

These are the reasons I eat meat

[–]TheOldManandtheCword 1 point2 points ago

Hey man, thanks for taking the time to write all this out. I appreciate it, and while I still don't agree with you, you have your reasons and I respect that.

[–]WrethZ -4 points-3 points ago

''Eating these animals because that's what we humans were made to do (note your canines those weren't made for eating apples).''

So much logical fallacy, Hnnnnnnng!

[–]twothumbs 0 points1 point ago

I'm simply condensing a view had by the majority of people. There's more to it.

Also, I hate it when people do this. I wrote a whole paragraph that pretty much bashed your view to pieces, and what do you do? you comment on a side point I made and pretty much ignore everything else I wrote.

Good job.

[–]McLown 3 points4 points ago

I would be willing. I feel its important to know how to properly butcher an animal and have yet had the chance to short of whole chickens.

[–]Lucas7336 2 points3 points ago

I think you should have to kill the animals who's by-products you use every day.

[–]clintonius 8 points9 points ago

You should also have to farm your own produce, synthesize all your own plastics and rubber, drill your own oil, and do a little dance any time you want it to rain.

[–]thesandbar2 1 point2 points ago

dances

RAIN RAIN RAIN

[–]-xCaMRocKx- -2 points-1 points ago

Because it is delicious.

[–]Thisisopposite 3 points4 points ago

& we eat these? We suck.

[–]quickie_ss 0 points1 point ago

Heather?

[–]hirolash 0 points1 point ago

Am I missing something here… Is it cheaper to raise your own bacon or to buy it from the store already processed?

[–]nplakun 0 points1 point ago

Great now I need to get a pig. Thanks for that.

[–]ItsColdInHere 0 points1 point ago

Where would I get a pet pig anyway?

[–]dana1209 0 points1 point ago

Yes, I'd like to know also. I see all these pictures of people with their pet pigs....I want one.

[–]SweetLeafKush 0 points1 point ago

Upvoted strictly because of the cuteness of the title lol.

[–]GlitchLord2 0 points1 point ago

I shall call him Squishy. And he shall be mine. And he shall be my Squishy.

[–]I_Hate_Centipedes 0 points1 point ago

Oh, how cute! Simply adorable!

[–]coolguy1793 -4 points-3 points ago

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww that looks Soooooooooooooooo tasty!

[–]likestea -2 points-1 points ago

I love it when food is this cute. We should treat all our food this good, it'd taste even better. Especially the smarter ones, like Squishy here.

[–]Trolololroflmao -1 points0 points ago

No one's mentioned this yet but..Looks like pigception to me
