I mean, they are, but that’s no reason to keep one in an apartment.

They are - and the people making that comment are typically advocating for abstaining eating pigs (or other animals) and would agree that malnourishment or keeping them as a pet when you don't have the space for a full-size pig is wrong.

Frankly, it's almost more of an encouragment to try dog...

I would argue that intelligence is not the only quotient for whether an animal should be eaten or not. In the case of dogs, they’ve been bred over 10,000 years specifically to serve as companion animals. They feel an adoration and affection toward humans that other animals do not.

This is true, but some breeds were bred in part for food, too. Best of both worlds lol
