[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1643907, member: 103303"] I'm curious about your source on that (pigs are the fifth smartest animal). I've been around both species a lot, and from experience, I have to disagree. I suspect pig intellect is greatly exaggerated by animal rights groups and Hollywood. For example, in the filming of Babe I believe 49 different pigs were used, and each was capable of learning 1 'trick'. Obviously they have the ability to learn, but compare a mob of hogs to a pack of wolves. Or a domestic hog to a domestic dog. Look at respective brain sizes. Now, I'm not a doctor or a psychologist, just a redneck in Canada, but that's my experience! Whitetail deer can learn, and even get pretty smart. Would you consider a deer intelligent? They have a brain about the size of a pigs. Interesting thread. I don't mean to be argumentative, just thought I'd put it out there. [/QUOTE]
