@VeroniqueB99 I would go for both, but that wouldn't be fair to the pigs.

@Ken_McConnell the one above is a pig; an intelligent animal, quick to learn, bonding with others. The other is a dirty, lying, cheating, fraudulent trickster and a danger to humanity and the free world. None of that can be said of the pig.

@anemone @VeroniqueB99 it is clear from the image which is which but pigs and humans are very closely related and of a very similar texture and flavour

I can’t remember where I read it but I recall seeing a theory that humans are basically pig-ape hybrids

@anemone @VeroniqueB99 I don’t believe it myself but it certainly stood out to me, I wish I could remember the context I read it under

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Pigs do have some similarities to humans but my guess is it's because we're similar sized animals with (broadly) similar diets, kind of like how pacu fish have human-like teeth due to a similar diet

@anemone @VeroniqueB99 @arcana seeing a fish with a human-like grin would freak me out

@Tony@clew.lol they eat an omnivorous diet similar to humans and evolved similar teeth as a result. They live in the rainforest so eat fruit and vegetation in addition to hunting.

@arcana @anemone 100%. That's why they test organs etc on pigs and have pig parts implanted in humans (hog heart valves for ex.)

@gav@cawfee.club @hakui@tuusin.misono-ya.info @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social have not seen any explanation for how chimpanzees could hybridize with an animal separated by close to 100 milllion years of evolution. other hybrids are like a 10th of that

@anemone @hakui @VeroniqueB99 @arcana there isnt any hard reason they cant, so its a matter of rarity, frequency, and mutatedness(which will augment rarity)

@anemone @hakui @VeroniqueB99 @arcana it gets dismissed as rumors, its not going to occur outside activity especially not to be witnessed, and under bad management would it occur in captivity, ergo implausible rumours from columbia africa and india
