Covert investigations by Animal Liberation ACT and Animal Liberation NSW
  1. Pigs communicate constantly with one another; more than 20 vocalizations have been identified that pigs use in different situations, from wooing mates to saying, 'I'm hungry!'
  2. Pigs are clean animals. If given sufficient space,
    they will be careful not to soil the area where they sleep or eat.
  3. Sows like to build nests from their surrounding environment in order to provide shelter for their piglets.
  4. Newborn piglets learn to run to their mothers' voices and to recognize their own names.
    Mother pigs sing to their young while nursing.
  5. Pigs have greater intelligence than dogs and even three-year-old humans.
  6. Pigs appear to have a good sense of direction and have found their way home over great distances. Adult pigs can run at speeds of up to 11 miles an hour.
  7. Pigs like to bathe in water or mud to keep cool, and they actually prefer water to mud.
