Music helps piglets get more out of playtime

[irunman28]

Dito, My hogs will jam to old school Pantera and the Sow's will listen to In This Moment~

[Ancientpeople]

Now i want some pork-chop and may be half rack of baby back rib.

[ryanrenesis]

Piggies! *munch*

[APPLEPIE978]

happy animals taste better because they are less stressed (well i heard this from a farmer) so that the meat is less hard and something else to do with the blood xD

[fluidgrace]

good to know they are getting more quality of life

[sy1234]

Happy pigs taste better?

[keda07]

yeah :D

[mynameisdylanholcomb]

I doubt they were playful- they were probably trying to figure out what the heck was going on!

[RarewareLover]

Dance for a bit and then chopped into little pieces, sounds coool

[geographyhater]

want a cookie?

[PubliusHadrianus]

Shhhh... don't tell the MAFIAA / RI Ass of A or they'll milk the sow dry for royalties on the music that's being played for the piglets.

:p

[greendazed86]

Dude, everyone knows that pigs prefer Iron Maiden over classical...

[BMWxM3xGTR]

id like to see a piglet bang its head to Slayer lol

[Neoxym]

If I ever get a farm and pigs, my pigs will listen to Heavy Metal.

[WoWaddict3d]

Dude I totally thought about that too! They'd be all painted black and white, they'd all have spiked collars and listen to Slayer, Dimmu Borgir, Immortal etc. :D Then they'd grow up like the size of a rhine then USA would by them from me as warfare machines and I'd get rich <3

[WoWaddict3d]

rhino*

[EIN771]

yum yum!! maybe tht explains why i liked tht mozart when i was eating pork last sunday...

[qu4zu000]

that kinda works for us as well. like in workouts if you have ur favorite song playing you actually workout longer

[WoWaddict3d]

Pfft.. dunno I don't feel sorry for an animal that doesn't know anything about life outside the farm.. And I don't feel sorry for that animal to be killed and fed to people. Meat is delicious. If u don't like it don't eat it. Don't ban it. Too many things are already banned.

[mbs306]

i hear ya man

[Redshift21]

Winston Churchill said, "dogs look up to us, cats look down on us, but pigs treat us as equals"

[severmine]

pigs are smart as hell. poor piggies

[Sublex]

Pigs are cute :) (when they're not like, in mud or something)

[A11ex]

Or in form of a pork steak.

[nerdelicious5]

Cool. They still have to be livestock though...

[JezebelDecibel]

I don't eat pork; but I bet eating happier pigs would be healthier.

I hope humans learn to farm in more humane ways, this is good research.

[bambapabbi]

JezebelDecibel, you don't eat pork? not even with a fork? can't touch it huh?

[allenamerica]

they would love music with a better beat i bet

also i am vegan please let them dance

and continue living

[hartnell114]

a playroom for bacon :D

hey honey, play some Bach! :D

couldnt they grow them in mass just in a feild someplace,would that be so hard to do?

seriously i wanna know

[liz1060]

I think if you give them a lot of freedom they just act like ... well, pigs ... so I'm sure they are easier to "harvest" if the environment is controlled -- but I'm glad my bacon got a groove on before things got serious!

[mcneadub1]

survival of the fittest and animals lost

the end

[FlyMario2]

They look delicious.

[Redshift21]

Sorry veggies and vegans but I don't see the world giving up it's steaks any time soon :)

[sman92]

when did a video about the affect of music on animal brains turn into a fucking animal rights argument, focus on the video people

[Scooter2020259725]

OMG! SANITY IN A YOUTUBE COMMENT! GET HIM!!!!

Just kidding. I agree with you, Sman92.

[OrganicWebhead]

they are not playing, they are screaming, "LET US OUT...AND STOP THAT HEDIUS MUSIC"

Like all animals they deserve to be free and enjoy life. bahhh

i agree with hycran "What I wish is for people to eat sensible portions not for the animals sake, but for their own health."

Even though im a vegan, i cant expect people just change so easy and fast. So i guess that would be the most easy solution.

[kurthurtig]

how about just giving them a free range to run around, enjoy a "natural" life until getting slaughtered.

geez farkin chryst, eh?!

pissin me off... humans pretendin to solve their problems by introducin more nonsense, when the options are clear and easy.

apart from that it doesnt surprise in the slightest and like the prove how close to humans, pigs are!

[vdubmerc3]

Well at least the piglets get more fun out of it.

[chasinjason]

Mozart makes their flesh more delicate.

[Syntax01001]

I'm eating bacon RIGHT NOW!

[bestiaccia]

Nice!

[VibrateHigh]

How about we stop raising pigs - just to kill them - instead of finding ways to make their lives more enjoyable - before we kill them. Come on people. We don't need to eat pigs.

[bundesstrasse]

yes we do - they taste AWESOME!

[VibrateHigh]

Perhaps they will decide one day to eat you.

[thanatos454]

mmmmmmmmm bundesstrasse

[rugapark]

how? please explain.

[irish202]

yea thers cows, cickens nd loads more

[WoWaddict3d]

Imagine how many bigfarmers would loose their jobs.. And since u can't just ban one type of meat= Imagine how many people would loose their jobs if all meat was banned! And since meat is so delicious... It just won't happen. Not while I'm alive :D

[VibrateHigh]

It may happen indeed happen while you are alive.

[WoWaddict3d]

I doubt that. Unless something horrible happens like.. I don't even know.

[alex3914]

You are stupid.

[uberenkai]

^^^^^^^^What he said was true, you are the stupid one.

[alex3914]

Pigs don't end up being pets!, if thats what you fucking think, PIGS ARE FOOD you doosh. His comment didn't make much sense. Whoever thumbs uped that guy is an idiot.

[FizzyCO2]

No it wouldn't.

Humans love and eat meat.

[severmine]

very, very true

but, people demand, and livestock has always been around for food and protein. and I know that I love steak, but I am definitely becoming much more conscious of what is at my table. fuck, tough world. I feel selfish :(

[manocpjaevel]

hhah who were talking about BANNING anything... everything isn't two sided, black/white, allowed/forbidden, wrong/right.

what about people chosing not to eat, did that occur to you boy

[hyrcan]

Job loss is a pretty weak argument for avoiding a meatless society. First considering that 98% of meat consumed comes from factory livestock production plants, the people who run them are anything but "farmers."

The argument though is a strawman, much like the one I use on my Vegan friend... *sad eyes* "But what will happen to the cows if no one eats meat?! They'll go extinct! It's not like we can release them to the wild."

It's a silly and pointless argument.

[hyrcan]

We don't technically need to eat any animal flesh not just pig flesh. However there are areas of the world where vegan, or even vegetarian options are not available. So research on how to raise animal for use in consumption is still required.

What I wish is for people to eat sensible portions not for the animals sake, but for their own health. A side effect would be healthier humans, and a decrease demand.

[VibrateHigh]

agreed - although I would also like for people (who are in an economic position to do so) to also consider eating less/none for the sake of the animal.

[dafttool]

re: It may...indeed happen while you are alive. [talking about ending meat consumption]

I believe it will happen sooner than most people think. With climate change, worldwide hunger growing with worsening food & energy crisises, & biofuels further using up livestock feed stores, I think the price of meat will eventually become so expensive that very few people will be able to afford it on a daily basis. It will eventually be a luxury few can afford.

[VibrateHigh]

I agree. We are entering serious change here on this planet. It's a good time to buy organic seeds and practice how to grow food. We cannot depend on any of the systems that we have become use to. We are going to need to be resourceful and creative in the future in meeting our needs. It's a huge shift for mankind but not all bad. : )

[UcanbeGOD]

People have mentioned putting a really high tax on meat like they do cigarettes. I am vegan so.....:)

[thesyriansystem]

weaning?

[irish202]

ah its when they are put off their mothers milk and fed on solid food

[manocpjaevel]

hallucinant, animals like this PLAY...

and we eat them. sucks

[SAsgarters]

Sucks for them, but you know you can't please everybody.

[schmeltz]

aww their cute playing like that

[dafttool]

Not at all surprising. Similar research has shown cows give more milk when provided certain music, classical & country, but give less milk when exposed to more raucous music, such as rock & rap. Regardless, iving weanlings a playtime is an improvement in their otherwise miserable lives as penned-up livestock. I hope it is a trend that catches on among farmers, because happier livestock is not only more humane, but also healthier livestock (for consumption).

[ificouldtalkiwould]

..thank god.
