But some piggies are more equal than others.... (Someone was going to say it ,so why not me?)

These pigs aren't. If we are going to discuss pigs, they cannot be left out.

Guy, How on earth do you find this stuff!
I could get a decent sweater and a barrel load of crackling from those!

And when you are tired of being treated as an equal by the pig, you can eat him. That is a major advantage over those other animals.

Used to be normal to tan cat skins. And, speaking as a guy who tans on a hobby basis, my cats are threatened with becoming gloves every time they get ill...

Robert A, Heinlein said "Women and cats do as they please, men and dogs might as well get used to it.

Look into a cat's eyes. You can hear their thoughts: "If I were bigger, I'd eat you."

Anybody doubt it?

No doubt - nature's little terminators. You got to admire that wonder of evolutionary engineering: nocturnal eyes, retractable claws etc..

I have three cats...not like I really wanted to have three cats. They moved in with me one by one and let me know that they own me now. They have me well trained. I have learned to love them, as commanded.

Equal with pigs? Winston needed to bathe more.

When my sis and her hubby married, they moved to the farm. He had been in ag commodies brokering and had many farmer friends/customers. One offered 20 [pregnant pigs] as a wedding present. That is very valuable! Sis said no way, their barns are too close to the house and she didn't want to live in pig odor 24/7. They have built up a beef operation instead.

I like Winnie but I'll have to differ with him on the pig issue.

I like dogs. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. Dogs look up to us.

Polly Toynbee? Moonbat, hypocrite, Caravan wrecker.

Yeah, that was one of his better ones. He had some classics but I also liked this one: He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
