This looks like a vital new #documentary: about the horrors Smithfield Foods (a pig farming giant) is imposing on on Black North Carolinians - correlating directly to geographies of #slavery
They pulled over 20 cars and made 8 arrests. Imagine if they just did that all the time instead of staking out church parking lots and harassing homeless people
There are cars driving all over Portland with no tags. What are they doing lulling them into a false sense of security!?
Release most domestic animals in a forest and they will be gone within the year. Cows? Eaten. Chickens? Extra Eaten. But not pigs. Pigs revert — they survive and each generation is more close to some lost wild boar ideal form than the next. Why are pigs different? Are they less domesticated? Is it the omnivory? Is it their intelligence?
In a few decades people say they need power weapons to protect their families from the pigs. What the heck?
@futurebird we have wild #pigs, here in northern #California. They are stealthy, fierce, have thick, coarse, black hair, tusks, will kill you, chase you, play tricks on you, and are so successful that the state and its agencies are locked in a struggle with them over proliferation. They are the descendants of domestic pigs introduced by 18th century Spanish settlers. In ~300 years they've transformed from pink and tractable to fierce and dominant.
I love my bacon 🥓 but I also know that #pigs are super cute and will eat anything (well, almost). Enjoy a pig looking forward to his treat of an #Indian paan - Betel nut and leaves.
#BilboToday As it is raining cats (and never #dogs, my dog says!), my walk with Bilbo was the shortest ... to the neighbour's animals.
A wonderful experience: Two #pigs were cuddling asleep in the last dry corner. Suddenly one of them was visibly #dreaming. It sniffed, and burrowed in its sleep. The movements were transferred to the other pig. When the dreaming pig ran in its sleep, the other pig ran with its buddy.
I know such dreaming from dogs but never saw pigs dreaming.🥰 #animals
#ActualSolarPunk is: dreaming that i was chasing wild pigs away from the garden last night, & then today, hearing some suspicious pig-like-rustling & chasing those pigs away.
at first i was like "whoa a premonition dream!" but then i thought "maybe my subconscious just knows that pig-scaring is a part of life out here, so it put that into an everyday scenario 😅 "
as i was hollering & yelling, all i could think was: if one doesn't have a dog to do the hollering, one has to do it oneself!
@MatthewKay 😎 Just sayin'...
"These two critter companions may not serve a purpose to society, but at least they are here in nature instead of out on the street where they could be bothering people just trying to live their lives."
