Some farm animals such as pigs are more intelligent and sensitive than 3 year olds. Professor Stanley Curtis of Penn States University found that pigs play and excel at joystick-controlled video games. He observed that they are capable of abstract representation and are able to hold an icon in the mind and remember it at a later date. It is also shown that chickens and other animals can mimic what they see on television and learn to distinguish between different shapes. Dogs and cats are unable to do this. Pigs are so intelligent that once a pig saved a boy from drowning. So pigs are able to do just as much or even more then your companion dog or cat.

big ignorant dumb as an ox silly cow
birdbrain but as you will see these
labels no longer fit what we now know
about animals that's okay you're doing
good pigs can use computer joysticks
hens can learn from watching TV but we
allow these animals to be treated in
ways that we wouldn't dream of treating
our pets
the nearest most of us come to farm
animals is in the supermarket where we
buy their meat milk and eggs but do we
know how intelligent and sensitive they
are the conditions they're reading and
how the decisions we make every day
directly affect their lives recent
scientific research has discovered that
farm animals are far from stupid this
Hema spent her whole life living in a
small cage despite a life in a cage this
hen has learned how to navigate this
obstacle course to get to a nest box
driven by her instincts she has to use
her intelligence the computer won't open
the door until she pecks three times her
instincts tell her she's about to start
a family and she should find a suitable
place to build a nest in this feeding
experiment the hen has learned from
watching television in which bold to
find food even when offered a yellow
Bowl she goes for the red one as seen on
TV it's not only birds this is Hamlet
he's amazed animal psychologists by
learning the computer game design for
chimpanzees Hamlet has to move the
cursor into the blue area around the
screen when he does he gets a suite the
scientists make it progressively harder
for Hamlet Yeti succeeds every time can
other animals do this
here's Rex a Jack Russell dog flex is
willing but even after a year he hasn't
quite got it and needs help
Hamlet can do it without help and can
learn to distinguish between different
shapes this and other experiments have
shown that pigs are at least as if not
more intelligence leaders sir but how
does Hamlet compare to chimpanzees these
pigs have made the connection between
joystick operation and these simple side
tasks even faster than most chimpanzees
and much faster than some chimpanzees in
the outside world
occasionally pigs get the chance to
display their intelligence this
notorious twosome escaped from a
slaughterhouse pen they knew something
was up and they were off nothing stood
in their way it kept going
I think he's thought about it for about
half a second and thought that was
better than where they were going
originally and so they jumped into the
river and that was here they were
swimming I never seen anything like it
really swimming pigs the daring pigs
touch the nation's heart so much that
they were saved from slaughter and now
live in a sanctuary
but pigs can not only save themselves
they can also save us this
reconstruction retells a remarkable
rescue story 999 style when she heard
the scream of the boy she quite
naturally swam directly to him boy grab
the harness we both went under twice
before she got her swimming stroke but
she knew that it was either live or die
she didn't get that swimming stroke that
she took around
it seems that pigs are far from ignorant
the animals we care for at home like
dogs get special treatment we become
very fun of them most people don't think
of pigs in the same way why not are they
just pieces of meat or living breathing
thinking and feeling creatures so how
have we come to treat farm animals so
differently from the way we treat pets
