A man walking down a shady lane sees a farmer hoisting a pig on his shoulder up to an apple tree so the pig can eat. The man asks:"Why not just shake the limbs and let the pig eat the apples off the ground? It'd save time." The farmer says:"What's time to a pig?"🤣🤣😆
They used to have a use while alive, and were a reason that, especially in the countryside, almost every household had one...waste disposal, food waste mostly.
Another use they have while alive is for Pannage. Where they're let out to roam and eat the fallen acorns that are poisonous to horses and other animals. It's kind of an outdated/redundant thing now, but it is still done in the area I grew up in.
@@johnm8224 etymology on that is kinda split. some claim it's because the wire brush makes a squealing noise when it is sent down a pipeline (it sounds like a whoosh to me more than anything).

@@trueaussie9230 that's a fair challenge but i'm relaying what i've heard it called on site when we were pigging a line.

Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like any country/culture does milk pigs, and I wonder why that is. Every other farm mammal gets milked by someone: in Asia they apparently milk horses and donkeys, and cheese from goats and sheep are common, and of course the ubiquitous cow's milk. But I've never heard of anyone drinking or consuming pig's milk.
No one mention footballs? I mean...what Americans call a "football". Actually, it only occasionally comes in contact with a foot. But you know what I mean.
Since this episode aired, mass factory farming still hasn’t come to a halt and replaced with natural organic farming. Most of the 42 areas of manufacturing can be all plant based and would cost significantly less along with reducing the climate footprint drastically. I’m glad more and more companies are doing so but we need all of them.
Not to mention dogs got people literally picking their shit up after them and bagging it. That's gotta give them some serious respect in the animal world.@@ThomasSawyers
Now I must disagree. I was annoyed that all of the uses (bar one) are for dead pigs, when the uses for living pigs are more interesting. And then Stephen made the utterly ridiculous and false claim that (apart from truffle hunting), there are no uses for a living pig. This is most disappointing.
They make a great friend for dying old spiders, too.

There is a kind of scouring plug used to clean pipelines, also called a pig .

isnt' long pig the cannibal name for humans.
'Long pork' is the term I've heard but unsure of its origin. It may be a translation or it may be bs.

Yes. Don't need to kill a sheep to get wool.
On that point. I think perhaps they were overlooking the obvious manure, which pigs would surely produce in quite vast quantities🤔
Sheep’s milk is used n some famous cheeses, including Roquefort and Feta.

Pigs make excellent rulers of beast-run farms in anti-Communist allegories. They are very good at painting amendments to the Seven Commandments.

As pigs are mammals it's possible to milk them, although not when they're dead!

Surprised nobody milks pigs, seems some people are willing to drink almost anything
The flavor isn't a problem. It's just not a viable product. Pigs are very, very hard to milk, and they cannot get pregnant while lactating.

Well pigs are allegedly of similar intelligence to dogs. Not sure people would be so blasé if we did to dogs what we do to pigs.
