So everyone ITT just wants to ignore the fact that pigs are naturally cannibalistic? K cool beans guys

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Pigs are cannibalistic individually and infrequently, not FORCED on an INDUSTRIAL SCALE

People don't realize how common cannibalism is in other species. Just have a male and female hamster and you'll find out.

I think people know, but there's this weird disconnect where it applies to bugs but not animals. Most kids know female mantis and spiders generally eat the males of their species, but far fewer know the realities of chickens or pigs. Always pretty easy to pick out the farm kids in biology class.

Fun fact; New Jersey is one of the top spending schools on education believe it or not
