Greenpeace releases shocking new video of pig-vision

A new video released by Greenpeace shows the shocking reality of what life is like for pigs raised in factory farms. The video, shot through the eyes of a pig, reveals the appalling conditions in which they are forced to live.

Pigs are intelligent and social animals who feel pain and suffer just like we do. But in factory farms, they are subjected to routine abuse and neglect. They are often crammed into tiny cages or pens, where they can barely move. They are denied fresh air, sunlight, and exercise. And they are routinely fed antibiotics and hormones that make them sick.

The conditions in factory farms are so appalling that many pigs go mad from boredom and frustration. They engage in self-mutilation and cannibalism, and they weep from the stress of their conditions.

Meanwhile, the meat and pork products from these animals are sold to consumers as if they were ethically produced. But this could not be further from the truth. If you want to help end this cruelty, then please pledge to never buy pork products from factory farms again.

Pigs can see in color!

Pigs can see in color!

Despite being thought of as dirty animals, pigs actually have very good eyesight. In fact, they can see in color! This is because they have a membrane called the corona radiata that surrounds their retina. This allows them to see colors that are outside the visible spectrum for humans.

This means that not only can pigs see in the dark, but they can also see things that are camouflaged against their surroundings! This makes it difficult for predators to sneak up on them, and also helps them find food when it is hidden.

Interestingly, pigs are not the only animals with this ability. Cats, dogs, and some other animals also have a membrane around their retinas that allows them to see in color.

Now you can know what your pigs are seeing

Pigs are among the smartest animals on the farm, and they have a very good sense of smell. You may have wondered what they see when they look around their pen. Now, there is an app for that.

'Pig View' is a new app that uses augmented reality to give farmers a view of what their pigs are seeing. The app was developed by PhD candidate Dimitris Xygalatas and his team at the University of Oxford. It uses Microsoft's HoloLens technology to overlay a pig's view of the world onto the farmer's view.

The app has already been tested on several commercial pig farms in the UK. Farmer feedback has been positive, with many saying that it has helped them identify and solve problems in their pens.

One of the benefits of 'Pig View' is that it can help farmers reduce stress in their pigs. Pigs are highly sensitive to their environment, and changes such as new objects or people in their pen can cause them stress. The app can help farmers identify these changes quickly and address them before they become a problem.

Farmers can also use 'Pig View' to improve animal welfare by identifying areas in the pen where pigs are not able to rest or play. This information can help farmers make changes to the pen layout to improve welfare.

The 'Pig View' app is available for download on Android and iOS devices.

Are pigs smarter than we thought?

A study published in the journal Science suggests that pigs may be smarter than we thought. The study found that pigs are capable of understanding symbols and basic commands.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge and involved training pigs to recognize four geometric shapes - a square, a triangle, a circle, and a star. The pigs were then able to find food hidden in one of the shapes after being shown which one it was.

The study's lead author, Dr. Juliane Kaminski, said that the findings show that pigs have "complex cognitive abilities." She added that the results suggest that pigs "might be as smart as some primates."

Pigs are often considered to be unintelligent animals, but this new research suggests that they may be more intelligent than we thought. Pigs are capable of understanding basic commands and recognizing symbols, which suggests that they have complex cognitive abilities.

Scientists find out that pigs have better vision than dogs

For a long time, scientists believed that dogs had better vision than other animals. But new research has shown that pigs actually have better vision than dogs.

Pigs can see clearly up to a distance of 300 metres, while dogs can only see clearly up to 100 metres. Pigs also have better color vision than dogs, and can differentiate between more colors than dogs can.

This research is interesting because it shows that we need to rethink our assumptions about what animals are capable of. It also sheds light on the intelligence of pigs, which have often been considered to be dumb animals.
