Frankly speaking, I prefer cats. As for the past history -- I found out recently, that Russian peasants kept pigs (and cows) for one reason - for the sake of manure, and not for the sake of meat, as one might think :) But I agree, -- this pig encounter was a touchy and happy moment for the photographer :)))
Oh, this pig looks like the one that was George Clooney's pet!
Cats are very cozy 😻
I would not keep a pig in an apartment either, but here, on a free pasture, the choice of possible pets is a little wider!
