Most people know very little about these fascinating animals, pigs are curious and insightful animals which are thought to have the intelligence beyond that of an average three year old human child, pigs are sometimes smarter than most dogs and are every bit as friendly, affectionate and loyal.

Pigs are at best in their natural surroundings, not on factory farms as this is when they are at their most social and playful and are very protective of each other and bond well. Pigs who live on farms are denied everything that they desire and love the most, they are never free to roam on pastures and laze in the sun or breathe fresh air and all of these things contribute to developing personalities of pigs.

You may also be surprised to learn that pigs also have dreams, recognize their own names and lead a social life within their own groups which they live in, and people who run animal sanctuaries often say that pigs have their own individual animal characteristics and they have learnt this through seeing pigs enjoy listening to music and playing with footballs just like humans do.
