# I have this odd feeling you don't live in a flat.
Edit: because, obviously keeping them as pets in an urban environment is so clearly not practical.
I'd like to point out that I'm going on a pig-rearing course for a few days next month, in order to get a proper handle on when I have some outside space and decide to start keeping my own pigs.
I'm not being flip with you at all, I'm just intrigued by your somewhat didactic approach.

Edit Edit: Realises, all too late that he's got me on ignore anyway. Hey ho.

# snap :D
I like being easy going.

EDIT: actually that's a lie... I ignored myself once to see what would happen.

# What did happen?

# all my posts vanished from the board
and then I had a mild flap about how to undo it. :D

# me? I haven't got anyone on ignore, I was just outside trying to fix a bit of fence
Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as didactic, this seems to happen a lot which is odd as all I think I'm doing is having a pleasant conversation.
Sorry again

# Hey Toasty,
No bother whatsoever, I was only wondering as you seemed very clear on your point. ....and then it all went quiet.

*firm handshakes*

Contrary to my normal 'let's all eat revolting foods' cant that I put on the board; Animal welfare is something I truly believe in and actively campaign for, but I guess I couch it more in terms of also providing as humane a means of food supply as possible to those who choose to eat meat.

I'm completely with where you're coming from from, though. My only caveat, I guess, would be that link to the South African academic's piece, which I'm finding a little too 'right on' to be practicable.
All in all, not an easily solved problem.

# yep, I only said that it was a good read
I'm fascinated about how the brain works. Especially how posting a document that I thought was a good read makes people think I'm making a political or ethical statement :D
