You do know that pigs can and will eat anything right? They can digest a fucking human corpse in a matter of hours.

Keep in mind here they are also specifically feeding diseased and infected dead pig

To build their immunity, yes. Sort of like a vaccine.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

So you eat a diseased meet to build up your immunity right?

I guess it's impossible to know on internet but they might not be a pig

Source please.

No animal eats its own kind. And shit neither, if it isnt because or vitamin B12 or immense stress.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Of course there are animals who kills their own kind, you can find it in a quick Google search.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What's the point of your comment? No one claimed animals don't kill their own kind.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What? Have you actually read the comment I replied?

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. Do you know that there's a difference between "kill" and "eat"?

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

And the killing was obviously on the context of eating... Do we have to be 100% pedantic so people can understand?

Cannibalism happens all the time in nature? Some animals eat their own children, humans are animals that do cannibalism on occasion, yes it's fucked up that we are feeding dead diseased pigs to other pigs but lots of things are fucked up too, and saying that cannibalism doesn't happen in nature isn't helping to solve the issue here.
