love pigs. go vegan!
Can pigs smell food. Asking for a friend
love not slaughter
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.
Please, all the experiments are null. If thats what those scientist are doing all the time, that’s terrible
Pig also use its nose
hmmm maybe it just smelld the food
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!
Hello Vegans
If PIGS are so smart why do 66% of them build houses with INEFFECTIVE, STUPID materials. CHECKMATE.
Isn't it possible that the pig knows where the food is by smelling it?
But how do they know the pig didn't use it's brilliant nose to locate the food?
Hmmm this video makes me hungry for some bacon.
vegan for life
Even if I still ate meat I probably would have stopped eating pork. Pigs are far too human-like to eat.
great this vegan filled comment section just had to ruin it
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
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 😀
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?
Damn, no more pigs on my plate.
Smarter than me!
So why do we eat pigs and not kids ?
Why did you have to be so god damn delicious at the same time…
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!
Toddlers are stupid
PIGGIES FOREVER! go vegan
Aww so cute! Still eating bacon tho!
Omg they are so intelligent they can turn into bacon. Nom nom
DON’T EAT PIGS
no such thing assmart or not
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
