More than 100 so-called 'micro pigs' living in the wild have been shot in a cull by Swansea council.

If pigs had apposable thumbs theyd rule the world by now.
Wow man, fucking worst day ever.
Can you imagine going into work, asking the boss what the plan is for today and then being told you have to kill 100 tiny little pigs.
Better than them becoming destructive to the local flora and fauna.
What a shame. They could have made a lot of cash selling them to westerners wanting cute pets
I want one

You don't take wild animals from a different country and then just sell them to some far off country.
This is how eco-systems get ruined.

They're being shot anyway

According to the article, this is how the problem began in the first place.
Well, at least we have 100 microbacons.
Edit: Why does that sound like a Cryptocurrency?
So in terms of regular pigs, that's like only 10 are dead, right?
Regardless of their slaughter... They probably had a better life than my bacon sandwich...
things like this make me feel so sad. yeah ok i can respect that it's the best thing to do in the circumstance, it needed to be done and all that.
but still. those poor pigs. its such a sad occurance.
I think it's for the best unless they want it to get out of hand like Floridas iguana problem.
you could stick like three on a stick and have yourself a real cook-up
Makin' bacon
Oh my god, how could you kill those micro pigs?! A quick Google image result reveals how adorable they are!
It was for the best:

Average day in a korean MMO
These things aren't as small as the pics, adults are about the size of a labrador...
And that's the ones that don't grow up a lot bigger than advertised (400lb micro pig lol)

Reading the article or even this thread will help.
Some family members of mine own two. They grew to occupy the same volume of an average pillow. I can say that they're a load of responsibility, way more than most impulse pet buyers are willing to put in. Your life will, to some degree, revolve around your pig.

And yet, you probably eat bacon from pigs that had much less fulfilling lives. People only give more of a shit here because micro pigs are cuter and more desirable as pets

"Westerners". Right, because Swansea is far in the clutches of South-East Asia.
Micro piglets stalk your dungeon, beware.

There's a word for keepers like you.
If you add them all up you get .1 kilopigs
