Title
The macroeconomics of micro pigs
Abstract
(type = abstract)
For the past several decades, pigs have been leaving farms and gradually entering our homes as beloved pets. Mini pigs especially have been taking lead on this trend because of their small and manageable size. The issue is, there is no assurance that mini pigs will stay true to their small size. A direct result of this issue can be seen in animal shelters, sanctuaries, and rehoming advertisements. Mini pigs are a product of our own selfish preferences, as humans created mini pigs for both benefit and profit. The reason behind choosing this topic is that one of the authors herself was interested in owning a mini pig. It wasn’t until after thorough research that she concluded there is no guarantee when buying a mini pig. It is our mission to educate other prospective owners and prevent any more mini pigs from being abused.
