If you feed a pig bacon is it animal cruelty?

[Still-alive]

They seem to love it

No its not

Yes!

No but it still feels wrong somehow

[petitedollbabee]

If you offer it to the pig and the pig chooses to eat it, no that’s not cruelty, but if you’re forcing it down it’s throat and making it eat it, then yes that’s animal cruelty.

[Still-alive]

so they shouldn't choke on that bacon? :P

jk

[NostalgiaSenpi]

You feed an animal its own kind and they're likely to develop a prion disease. This is shown in both Mad Cow disease, where infected cows are ground up into the feed of other cows and Kuru, where ritual cannibalism spread Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

Strictly spoken not because pigs are omnivores, but there's still something about feeding a pig with bacon that reminds me of what Jews say: "a calf should not be cooked in it's mother's milk", which is more a moral guideline.

It's illegal to feed pigs meat or anything that a been inside a kitchen.

[Sour-rose]

Ya know, I witnessed chickens... eatin' a fallen brother. Very well cooked... and they picked at it like it was chicken feed. :1 Soooo... I don't think animals even give a shi what they eat, as long it's edible and has value

[Guy13]

Yummy !!! It is not animal cruelty as animals were created to be a food source for men. We are to reproduce, spread, take dominion over the earth including creatures of the land and the sea.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I don't think it's a good idea. Especially if the bacon is made of pork.

[JustinTheGreat]

Good question. I guess it’s not animal cruelty but it’s definitely messed up 😭 poor piggy

[douride2]

I have noticed pigs will eat almost anything. Still feeding pigs bacon some how seems wrong.

[Paul09]

Of course it is. They most likely don't know what it is. That's fed up. Is it cruel to feed humans , human meat?

[Guardian45]

Pigs will eat ANYTHING, but it still seems gross

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, sounds illegal to do

[loveslongnails]

Only if it was a direct relative! LOL

[Pudsmucker]

Hogs are cannibals they do eat their own.

[zagor]

Nah lots of animals are cannibalistic.

[Wise4myage]

No its not.

[Mayo503]

Lol 😂

[Dinosaursandanime65]

….. yesn’t.
