Why pigs shouldn't be kept alone ?

[twiams]

Hello,

while on facebook the other day i saw an amazing article giving some really good reasons on why pigs should not be kept alone and how they'd experienced how pairing pigs has changed there personality, has anyone else seen it because i can't seem to find it again and I'm trying to persuade family members to allow me to bond my loan boar,

Thanks (:

I can't help you with the link, I'm anti Facebook, but for me it's simple...we punish humans by putting them in solitary confinement, why do the same for animals for are naturally pack animals?

Simplesssss.

Isn't there also a news article somewhere about Sweden/Norway ( can't remember which, definitely a Scandinavian country) introducing a law where it's illegal to keep only one pig? The article is about a piggie rental service for bereaved single piglets. Try doing a search on the forum, I think someone posted a link.
