	NATURE. The Joy of Pigs. Pigs as Pets \| PBS
		As potbellied pigs Maynard and Cecil demonstrate on THE JOY OF PIGS, some pigs are more welcome in the house than in the barn.
		Pig breeders are now trying to create smaller versions of potbellied pigs, about the size of small dogs, called "miniature pigs" or "micro-pigs." More suitable for apartment living, these pigs should be less of a burden to owners, who often are not prepared for a pig's girth, eating habits, and sometimes unmanageable behavior.
		Pigs are instinctively wary of being picked up: in the wild, predators capture them from above and lift them through the air.

	Pig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pigs are one of the most intelligent mammals, and some, such as the Asian pot-bellied pig, are kept as pets.
		Pigs being fed human remains or pigs eating humans has appeared recently in popular fiction, such as the films The Deer Hunter, Snatch, Hannibal (although these are boars), and the TV show Millennium.
		Pigs are commonly associated with greed ("as greedy as a pig"), obesity, gluttony ("to pig out") and sloth ("a lazy pig").

	Internal Parasite Control in Pigs
		Pigs that are heavily infested with internal parasites grow slower and are less resistant to disease and stress.
		Pigs reared on dirt lots, pastures, or in deep bedded systems typically have greater potential for internal parasite infection than pigs housed in confinement on slatted floors.
		Pigs exposed to soil or manure from hogs previously infected with internal parasites are likely to have been exposed to internal parasites.

		Blood and tissue samples were collected after the LPS challenge to evaluate the magnitude of the stress and immune responses in the pigs.
		Pigs were individually penned and treatments were administered orally for 12 days.

	Pigs, discourse and ecology
		Millions of these pigs are confined indoors on intensive farms, fed antibiotics, choke on ammonia from pools of waste, have their environment controlled by machines, and are driven across the country in trucks to a few central processing plants where they are messily slaughtered (Eisnitz 1997).
		Other health concerns, such as the damage to pigs' lungs caused by the ammonia they breath, injuries to their legs from slatted floors, and the effects of not being able to move, can be ignored when health is defined only in terms of reproduction and growth.
		Reconstructing pigs as objects paves the way for people to treat them in ways which go against their nature, for example, confining huge numbers of pigs indoors in the same room, or stacking pigs into trucks and driving them to distant slaughterhouses.

	Are pigs the future of transplants? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The presence of galactose on the surfaces of pig cells triggers a devastating immune response known as hyperacute rejection when pig tissues are transplanted into another species.
		Cooper said baboons have survived for up to three months with pig hearts in previous experiments, but only when using levels of anti-rejection medications far higher than would be acceptable for a human patient.
		Though lack of galactose appears to have eliminated one hurdle in using pig tissues for cross-species grafts, or xenografts, the ultimate rejection of the organs indicates yet another barrier that must be cleared, Cooper acknowledged.

	WHO \| Avian influenza - update: Implications of H5N1 infections in pigs in China
		Pigs can be infected with both avian and human influenza A viruses-for instance, human influenza H3N2 viruses have been detected in pigs in Asia, Europe and Africa.
		The co-circulation of avian, human, and pig viruses in pigs is of significant concern because of the potential for a genetic exchange, or "reassortment," of material between these viruses.
		The role of pigs in genetic reassortment is not fully understood.

	Trail Companion - Spring 2000
		Pig damage on California State Parks lands has been fairly limited so far, although every park in the Santa Cruz District has pigs living in or passing through their lands and populations are booming.
		Since pigs can roam many miles in a single night, they tend to be transient on State Park lands, rather than always present; that mobility makes estimating numbers difficult.
		Jodi Isaacs expressed a hope that some form of contraception could be used to slow or reverse the tremendous growth of pig populations; perhaps MROSD would explore such an option in future and be on the cutting edge of pig control.

	PRINT Indonesian pigs sick with bird flu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Pigs add an additional catalyst in the steady climb towards a world pandemic because pigs can host both human and poultry flu strains.
		This has led scientists to hypothesize that pigs could act as a mixing bowl allowing characteristics from the human strain to combine with the already highly contagious and deadly avian influenza that has been terrorizing Southeast Asia.
		Furthermore, preliminary research suggests pigs might not be able to transmit H5N1 to one another.

		Impeccably clean by nature, pigs on factory farms are forced to live in their own feces, vomit, and even amid the corpses of other pigs.
		Pigs are fed massive doses of antibiotics to keep them alive in these conditions.
