They share similarities with the human DNA and body anatomy, surely they'll have more uses than just meat. Not on a farm though..
They're a forager that's great for keeping encroachment back, can find truffles, process waste particles into manure.
Theyre on the same magnitude as a cow or goat for usefulness thru lifespan.
They can hunt for truffles, which is more than cattle can do.
They are great for getting rid of cadavers too. At least according to television
Beware any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through bone like buttah!
There is nothing quite like driving in Iowa during a hot summer day past miles of hog farms. Such a sweet smell that the locals are just use to.
They were traditionally a waste disposal unit, they eat pretty much anything which makes getting rid of food scraps and bones pretty easy.
You're so incredibly wrong. Pigs can be trained to find truffles, drugs, and people. Just like dogs. Pigs can be trained to recognize emotional distress and offer comfort. Pigs can be trained to wear harnesses and carry things(this one isn't recommended because they love rolling). Most pigs I've met are smarter than most people I've met, and they were all a hell of a lot cleaner than some people too.
