Oink!

I came across an interesting article abt Pigs today. Guess it's not surprising at all that i stopped to read it, since i'm quite a Pig fan :) Hmm.. Pigs have gained themselves an undeserved reputation for slovenliness. People always picture them with this mucky appearance but the real reason why they always wallow in mud is cos they dont sweat and it's their way of cooling down. Gosh.. makes you wonder where the nasty remark "you sweat like a pig" come from huh? Apparently, contrary to popular belief, pigs are in fact some of the cleanest animals around. Given a choice, they'd refuse to excrete anywhere near their living or eating areas too.
My heart goes out to these adorable pigs. They are misunderstood in so many ways! Many people think of them as portly and stupid, but pigs are actually really intelligent. Pigs are smarter than any other domestic animal and are considered by animal experts to be more trainable than dogs or cats. Surprise surprise! :)
I used to want to keep a pig as a pet but my parents thought i was mad so i got myself a guinea pig. Haa.. dont laugh but it was true! :) Hope i after reading this you can take a look at these Oinks in a different light. I have some cute pics!
