Pigs are one of the most complicated animals on the planet and are structured very similar to humans. Humans depend on pigs to this day for their multiple uses. We will discuss where pigs were originated, why they are called what they are, and what they do for us. The domesticated pig originates from Eurasia and is an important role in the food chain. It has supplied many people with food for them to survive. Pigs were domesticated nine thousand to ten thousand years ago. They were loved and worshiped by many tribes before the development of the United States. The very first domesticated pig was originated from the Eurasian boar (Giuffra, E., J. M. Kijas, V. Amarger, O. Carlborg, J. T. Jeon, and L. Andersson). In southeastern Europe it is know as the main food supply. In …show more content…
They remember everything and are super smart. If given enough room they will typically not go to the restroom near their sleeping or eating quarters. They love being social no matter what and they always will keep you company. The best part of it all is that they show compassion and forgiveness to their owners. They are one of the most recommended pets to families in America. Even if the pigs have a wild personality, you will still find a way to love them. Domesticated pigs highly depend on their owners to care for them. Pigs are now growing into a sport. As some people may know there is an organization called the FFA that helps young students get involved with this. The student basically pays for the food, medical, bedding, and anything they need to take care of that pig and raise it. Once they do that they enter a show and compete for who has the best looking pig. There is a series of requirements to win such as how they walk, how they look, and if you can control them. This has been a tradition for nearly a hundred years. The association was founded in 1928 designed to help young agricultural
In the 1890’s, somewhere in England “The Story of the Three Little Pigs” was created. In this fairy-tale, an old sow sends out three pigs to find their wealth. Firstly, while establishing their wealth, the pigs came across this man that supplied them with material to build their houses. Therefore, each pig begins to build their own house, either out of straw, sticks, or stones. The pigs soon after came across the wolf and he blows down the first two pig houses and eats the pigs.
pigs begin to take control. By the end of the novel, the pigs have manipulated the rest of the animals into doing everything they want. The pigs then become almost exactly like the humans. The most important pigs are Napoleon and Snowball, that is until Napoleon
The organizer of that section asks Manny for the weight of the pig and Manny gives the right answer and wins that pig. But Greg refuses to take that pig because his mom doesn’t like to keep pets in her house.

Before you make the decision to purchase a market pig at a barn sale or online auction you should have the correct knowledge of the breeds that are out there. There are a total of eight common breeds of show pigs. These eight breeds can be divided into two groups judging by their ears. Breeds of pigs with droopy ears are: Chester White, Duroc, Poland China, Spot, and Landrace. Chester White pigs are known for their structural soundness, mothering ability, and droopy ears. A pig cannot be classified as a Chester White if it has erect ears or any other color spot larger than a silver dollar. Durocs, just like Chester Whites, have ears that are droopy, they also possess a color of reddish brown but the darkness of their hair and skin can vary. They are mainly known because they are good mothers and have a very lean carcass. Poland China pigs are another marked up breed of pig and they must be black with only six white points. These points are on their face, feet, and end of tail. The last breed of pigs with droopy ears is the Spot breed. I’m sure you can already guess that these pigs have spots all over their bodies. Spots must have black and white hair and their ears cannot be solid black. Landrace is a breed that originated in Finland that is white with ...
There has recently been a growing interest in outdoor pig production due to potential niche markets that include nature, free range, antibiotic-free, and sustainable products from pigs. Outdoor pig production can have benefits such as having a cost that is 40-70% lower to conventional indoor systems and can achieve similar grow margins with less capital investment, but it can also have its downfalls (Gentry & McGlone, 2003). Sows used to be housed in groups with outdoor access. In United States in 2001, 64% of the gestated sows were moved inside confinement building and given an individual stall (Peter J. Lammers, 2008). Consumers are concerned about sows being housed in gestation stalls and pigs being finished in confinement because they do not think that pigs are able to live their natural lives. This paper is written to show the pros and cons of indoor and outdoor housing for gestation and finishing pigs.
The animals trust propaganda as the truth, which gives the pigs the power they desire. Manipulation of animals is a recurring motif in this book such as when Napoleon leads all the animals to believe that snowball was the cause of all the misfortune on the farm and he offers “Animal Hero, Second Class, and half a bushel of apples to any animal who brings him to justice. A full bushel to anyone who captures him alive! (Orwell .70)” Even though the animals couldn't see Snowball doing such things the go along with what Napoleon says. This manipulation gives some animals an unfair advantage over others in a so-called “equal” community.
The pigs developed Old Major’s teaching into a complete system of thought: Animalism. Rules of equality, formality, and hard work was proclaimed and encoded in The Seven Commandments - ';an unalterable law.'; The animals enthusiasm was expressed through a hymn, ';Beasts of England.';
After the Animal Revolution the pigs take the initiative and place themselves in charge because of their claim of having higher intelligence. Over time this power begins to distort the basis of their revolt by recreating the same social situation they were previously in. “When the pigs takeover they claim that their goal is to preside a farm of equal animals, all working together to support one another, yet power quickly proves too much for a pig.” Though the animals originally took over the farm to increase the animal’s independence as a whole, because of the pig’s superiority they soon take the place of the humans further limiting their independence.
The first way the pigs use language to abuse their power is by using extensive detail and by using terms and vocabulary foreign to most animals. An example of the pigs using unknown terms can be found when Squealer explains to the other animals about how hard the pigs need to work to keep the farm running. “There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day upon mysterious things called ‘files,’ ‘reports,’ ‘minutes,’ and ‘memoranda’…” (129). In this scene, the animals, exhausted, hungry, and overworked, are told about how the pigs work just as hard as they do. Although this is completely untrue, seeing that the pigs only occupy themselves in self-centered and self-beneficial engagements, the other animals believe it to be true because they do not know what files, reports, minutes, or memoranda are. Their ignorance leaves them unable to question Squealers story and they mistake the pigs’ true...
Through use of language, the pigs appeal to the animals basic hopes and desires of a better life and a better future. They make others work extremely hard, while they themselves rest and unfairly reap most of the benefits of the work. For example, “Now comrades,... to the hayfield! Let us make it a point of honor get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men do.” Later in chapter three, Squealer is sent to justify the pigs selfishness and to convince the animals that the pigs are working in their favor. He said, “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples...Milk and apples contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig...the whole management and organization of this farm depend on us.” This how the animals are persuaded to believe almost anything without question.
Historical/Cultural Context of Animal Farm The Russian Revolution: In 1917, two revolutions were involved in Russia, which terminated centuries of imperial ruling. The Russian revolution was made up of two revolutions, which the first one was in February, and the second one was in October. These revolutions started political, and social changes that lead to the creation of the Soviet Union.

People also raise pigs to show and breed. People show pigs all over America. Some people keep pigs as a companion animal. Pigs were once used in orchards or open woodland. The herds of pigs would be taking care of by a swineherd which is like a shepherd.
If I was any animal in the world I would chose to be a pig. I choose a pig because pigs are very intelligent animals. They have very poor eye sight but a great sense of smell. Pigs are very social animals. They also tend to learn new behaviors from other animals.
Guinea pigs, from my experience, get treated like royalty. They get to be in a large cage which is probably equivalent to a playground for us with all the toys inside. I have a guinea pig, and let me tell you, I am envious of his life. He gets to stay in a cage all day wit...
