  1. They make a big deal of the fact that the piglet didn't go around the mirror, but that's the FIRST thing it did, at 0:26. It probably started staring at the mirror because it realized there was nothing behind it.

  2. With a nose like that, I'm not sure how accurate this test is? I'm pretty sure he's smelling the food over there in that direction isn't it? You know a big honker like that has gotta be accurate!

  3. Pigs are reincarnated soles of evil people. And they make great food because they reproduce so quickly and they eat anything and they are super high in protein

  4. I am doing a study for the university at the moment and observed a lot of comments beyond videos like this. I am starting to think that there is a relation between consuming animal products and cognitive abilities 😀 You so barely find a comment from a meat eater which has a well-founded argument or at least an argument at all. 99%is something like :'Bacon is tasty'. And these comments are over and over exactly the same. They are not even funny or smart. But meat eaters seem to find them funny over and over again. Maybe this is just a way of building a wall, to not have to deal with the actual topic. Otherwise, it is quite sad. Even that it makes me smile every time and wondering if they are not ashamed. And of course convinces me that I am on the right side, as I don't want to belong to a crowd like that. But I think I already know what my next study will be about 😀

  5. Ok but don’t they have a fantastic sense of smell also? So couldn’t their olfactory senses given a hint as to the direction the food was?

  6. I think everyone watching this video has ignored the fact that the pig has an enormous nose – should be very easy for it to find the food with closed eyes!

  7. In my opinion, factory farm owners won't stop doing slaughtering as a practice even if they are forced, we might have to switch to more natural ways of farming sooner or later because factory farming spreads MRSA…

    I dont have a problem with people eating meat, however i feel deep empathy for those poor pigs stuck in 50cm x 1m cages…

    I would love a pet pig when i grow up
