The Hard Truth: Pig Parenting

The Hard Truth

Pig Parenting Not for Cowards

Compliments of Pigs As Pets Association

Parenting requires knowledge and commitment. This is true whether the person is raising children or caring for pets. Being a pig parent is no different. The successful pig parent is one that understands the unique characteristics of the pig and is willing to make the effort and commitment to be a good pig parent.

In conclusion, again let it be stated, a person considering a pig as a pet can be assured of a loving and intelligent pet for many years, if they are willing to learn about their pet and make a long-term commitment to pig parenthood. Pigs As Pets Association is available to help in educating the potential parent, and anyone interested in learning about the pig as a pet.

Pigs As Pets Association, Inc. is a non-profit educational organization that provides information and literature on the potbellied pig as a companion pet to those willing to learn about their pet and make a

long-term commitment to pig parenthood. Pigs As Pets Association is not involved in breeding nor do we encourage prospective pig owners to seek breeders to obtain their pets. We do encourage those who would like to parent pigs to seek out a pig shelter or humane society and adopt a pig

needing a home. We have, on occasion, put people desiring to adopt a pig in touch with shelters or families wishing to place their pigs. We also make information available to communities that are considering zoning changes to help them make informed decisions based on facts about potbellied pigs rather than undocumented opinions and urban legends.
