I\u2019ve found swine to be tolerant creatures, trusting, sincere, and completely honest. They repay kind treatment\u2014an extra apple, a bellyrub, a squirt from the water hose on a hot summer day\u2014with real joy. And if they mainly associate me with breakfast and dinner, that\u2019s my fault. I don\u2019t spend nearly enough time in the pen hanging out with them, trying to see things as they see them. They see me coming and, frankly, I look like a bushel of pig feed. But the moral is really this. You don\u2019t want to hoard your pearls unless you\u2019re sure they\u2019re pearls. And you don\u2019t want to decide that the world is full of swine until you\u2019re sure you know what you mean when you say \u201cswine.\u201d I\u2019d be proud to think that my pigs saw only the best of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nperspectief: who needed the intellect of the pig \u2013 its radical smartness? farm animals are the product of coevolution with humans, or rahter we\u2019re the product of coevolution with them. they are twinned with us. the word that applies to our link with them is neither bond nor contract: it is convenant.
