And despite being hoofed mammals, they appear to be completely non-sapient. Perhaps they are the chimpanzees of Equestria.

I guess the pigs we have seen are considered pets, certainly they wouldn't be raised for meat. Maybe wild pigs are more common in Equestria.

Unless Equestrians eat meat on any meaningful scale (griffons surely would, and I'm sure there are a few ponies who have been adventurous enough to try it) then that must be their purpose. After all, pigs really aren't good for much else other than meat.

Well, what I say about pigs is true in that their meat is their main product. They don't lay eggs and they don't give milk like cows, goats, etc. do. I guess they're good for getting rid of food waste, but that's not exactly a problem for which you really need pigs.

Earth ponies can't fly or perform cool magic.

They're nothing special, and that is why they're cool in my book.

Well, the ham sandwich error was admitted to be an error. That said, it's been shown that the ponies are vegetarian but not vegan.

Does 'Shy even have any pigs for animal friends in her cottage? :flutterdear:
To be fair, it was probably Angel's fault.

I certainly hope they're non-sapient, otherwise the ribbons for pig-raising at the Sisterhooves Social have some very odd implications. :wat:

This is my new headcanon. The ponies just figured out ages ago to leave the pigs be and they won't ever cause any trouble.

:bluh: "The moment those pigs figure out how to unionize, we're done for."


Seriously though, it's just a weird quirk of this silly magical cartoonland that you get animals who are sapient and can even speak, but don't appear motivated toward what we are pleased to call civilization. We've seen cows talk and even go shopping, but for the most part they seem content to hang out naturally in herds. Then there are the Sweet Apple Acres sheep, who can also speak Pony, and yet are happy to live as regular domesticated sheep. To say nothing of all the "regular" animals who seem preternaturally smart in the way that cartoon animals do -- see everypony's pets, for instance. And one of the pet contestants was a sapient butterfly, so who the hell knows.

It's just how it is in Equestria. I guess if it's good enough for the critters, it's good enough for me. :pinkieshrug:

I personally think that the other hoofed animals like the cows and sheep are like that for a reason...maybe they have their own communities in Equestria. :pinkieshrug:

I believe you're required by law to hug at least one friend today. Or if you don't want to hug them you may also give them a cupcake. :-P
