About Pigs [PDF]
May 2015 About Pigs Pigs are highly intelligent, social animals, displaying elaborate maternal, communicative, and affiliative behavior. Wild and feral pigs inhabit wide tracts of the southern and mid-western United States, where they thrive in a variety of habitats. They form matriarchal social groups, sleep in communal nests, and maintain close family bonds into adulthood. Science has helped shed light on the depths of the remarkable cognitive abilities of pigs, and fosters a greater appreciation for these often maligned and misunderstood animals. Background Pigs—also called swine or hogs—belong to the Suidae family1 and along with cattle, sheep, goats, camels, deer, giraffes, and hippopotamuses, are part of the order Artiodactyla, or even-toed ungulates.2 Domesticated pigs are descendants of the wild boar (Sus scrofa),3,4 which originally ranged through North Africa, Asia and Europe.5 Pigs were first domesticated approximately 9,000 years ago.6 The wild boar became extinct in Britain in the 17th century as a result of hunting and habitat destruction, but they have since been reintroduced.7,8 Feral pigs (domesticated animals who have returned to a wild state) are now found worldwide in temperate and tropical regions such as Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia and on island nations, 9 such as Hawaii.10 True wild pigs are not native to the New World.11 When Christopher Columbus landed in Cuba in 1493, he brought the first domestic pigs—pigs who subsequently spread throughout the Spanish West Indies (Caribbean).12 In 1539, Spanish explorers brought pigs to the mainland when they settled in Florida. -
Summary: Civil Mock Trial of B
(INSERT NAME OF COURT) Judge (INSERT NAME OF JUDGE) (INSERT MONTH, YEAR) Summary: Civil MoCk Trial of B. B. Wolf versus Three Little Pigs ProsecutioN: B. B. Wolf accuses the Three Little Pigs of assault, conspiracy, aiding and abetting (assisting or encouraging), and slander. He says they tricked him into falling into their pot of boiling water to cook him into Wolf Soup. The pigs say he wanted to eat them, but admit they tried to eat him. They bully him, saying all wolves are big and bad, no matter how small or good they are. Their flimsy houses fell when he sneezed due to allergies when he went over to invite them to his party. DefeNse: The Three Little Pigs argue they were defending themselves from B. B., who destroyed two of their homes and broke into the third to eat them. They say B.B. didn’t visit to invite them to his party to be his guests; he wanted them to be his lunch. They learned early that all wolves are big and bad and that all look alike, so they can’t tell them apart. The defense argues B. B.’s favorite foods are all made of pig, including pig’s feet, bacon, and pork rinds; and doubt he has allergies. WitNess for ProseCutioN: Snacky Pig says B. B. tried to eat her for a snack, minutes after she was born. That is why they call her “Snacky.” On cross-examination, however, she admits her eyes were still closed, and she didn’t see the wolf. -

Poetry the Three Little Pigs by Dahl
“THE THREE LITTLE PIGS” by Raold Dahl The animal I really dig Above all others is the pig. Pigs are noble. Pigs are clever, Pigs are courteous. However, Now and then, to break this rule, One meets a pig who is a fool. What, for example, would you say If strolling through the woods one day, Right there in front of you you saw A pig who’d built his house of STRAW! The Wolf who saw it licked his lips, And said, “That pig has had his chips.” “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” “No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The little pig began to pray, But Wolfie blew his house away. He shouted, “Bacon, pork and ham! Oh, what a lucky Wolf I am!” And though he ate the pig quite fast, He carefully kept the tail till last. Wolf wandered on, a trifle bloated. Surprise, surprise, for soon he noted Another little house for pigs, And this one had been built of TWIGS! “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” “No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The Wolf said, “Okay, here we go!” He then began to blow and blow. The little pig began to squeal. He cried, “Oh, Wolf, you’ve had one meal! Why can’t we talk and make a deal?” The Wolf replied, “Not on your nelly!” And soon the pig was in his belly. -

CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (From Either the French Chair Cuite = Cooked Meat, Or the French Cuiseur De
CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (from either the French chair cuite = cooked meat, or the French cuiseur de chair = cook of meat) is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products such as sausage primarily from pork. The practice goes back to ancient times and can involve the chemical preservation of meats; it is also a means of using up various meat scraps. Hams, for instance, whether smoked, air-cured, salted, or treated by chemical means, are examples of charcuterie. The French word for a person who prepares charcuterie is charcutier , and that is generally translated into English as "pork butcher." This has led to the mistaken belief that charcuterie can only involve pork. The word refers to the products, particularly (but not limited to) pork specialties such as pâtés, roulades, galantines, crépinettes, etc., which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie." SAUSAGE A simple definition of sausage would be ‘the coarse or finely comminuted (Comminuted means diced, ground, chopped, emulsified or otherwise reduced to minute particles by mechanical means) meat product prepared from one or more kind of meat or meat by-products, containing various amounts of water, usually seasoned and frequently cured .’ A sausage is a food usually made from ground meat , often pork , beef or veal , along with salt, spices and other flavouring and preserving agents filed into a casing traditionally made from intestine , but sometimes synthetic. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved by curing , drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking or freezing. -

This study aims to develop a processed product from warthog meat in the form of back bacon (Longissimus thoracis et lumborum) as a healthy alternative meat product and to determine its chemical and sensory characteristics derived from adult and juvenile boars and sows. The highest scored attributes included typical bacon and smoky aroma and flavor, and salty flavor, as well as tenderness and juiciness. Neither sex nor age influenced the bacon’s chemical composition; the bacon was high in protein (~29%) and low in total fat (<2%). Palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), linoleic (C18:2!6), oleic (C18:1!9c), and arachidonic (C20:4!6) were the dominant fatty acids. There was an interaction between sex and age for the PUFA:SFA ratio (p = 0.01). -
The Global Impact of Wild Pigs (Sus Scrofa) on Terrestrial Biodiversity Derek R
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The global impact of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) on terrestrial biodiversity Derek R. Risch1*, Jeremy Ringma1,2 & Melissa R. Price1 The International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a comprehensive database of over 120,000 species and is a powerful tool to evaluate the threat of invasive species to global biodiversity. Several problematic species have gained global recognition due to comprehensive threat assessments quantifying the threat these species pose to biodiversity using large datasets like the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, the global threat of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) to biodiversity is still poorly understood despite well-documented ecosystem level impacts. In this study, we utilized the IUCN Red List to quantify the impacts of this globally distributed species throughout its native and non-native range. Here we show that wild pigs threaten 672 taxa in 54 diferent countries across the globe. Most of these taxa are listed as critically endangered or endangered and 14 species have been driven to extinction as a direct result of impacts from wild pigs. Our results show that threats from wild pigs are pervasive across taxonomic groups and that island endemics and taxa throughout the non-native range of wild pigs are particularly vulnerable. Global biodiversity is decreasing at an alarming rate with species extinction rates 1000 times greater than natu- ral background rates and anticipated to be 10,000 times greater in the future 1. Te establishment and spread of invasive species are among the primary drivers of these losses as they directly afect native species and can infuence ecosystem change through disturbance 2–4.
