If it was neglected for a while I suspect a feeding regimen would be necessary first? One could probably do well on what currently gets fed into our garburetor!

What a great idea! I should check with the local spca and see if they have any free pork. So long as it's not some 20 year old sow that would be too tough to chew.
I can just imagine that conversation.
Hi, do you have any pork... er, pigs for adoption? Nothing too big, just nice bbq size? "Click" hello?...

Can't imagine how many snowflakes were triggered when this hit social media. according to "global news" the guy who adopted "Molly" and then ate her is now on a "do not let this guy adopt animals for life list with that particular branch of the spca.

Honestly!
I always wondered what a potbellied pig would taste like. I bet their regular table fair in other countries. Mmmmmmm.

My take on it as well , it would have been great if the pig was named Cecil!

I'm not sure as to spelling but I've had 'hong eee'?
New Zealand has Maori as Canada has its groups of people.
It's pig heated in the ground. Simply amazing.
I would expect a 'Kalua pua'a'? of Hawaii is also of the same standard considering the proximity of the region.(questionmark for spelling)
Anyhoo, pig tastes good cooked anyway you can do it up.

I had pot belly pig ribs several years ago. Other than being smaller. Can’t say I noticed much of a difference for taste.
Better use of resources than the one that accidently went thru the silage harvester when they were harvesting corn.

Bear Valley Rescue has a few if you're interested, as well as some ducks and chickens.  Amazing what these people go for and they have city folks bringing them special food.

Mother Nature has a way...
Many hungry people lined up at Food Banks
Many surplus animals available
I'm saying what you're thinking...admit it.
Zeke
BTW, rabbits are tasty as well...so I'm told
NB, this is intended as a joke, just a joke, nothing more. Normal folks don't flip out over a joke.

Every tourist trap restaurant in Canmore could feature "bunny burgers" and in that dream I am the only supplier.

Farm animals as pets!
When I was a little kid my parents had a very large house in Toronto next to the Exhibition grounds and my mother took in tourists. One year when the Royal winter fair was on, we had a very nice young girl come and stay with us from Sask and she was sent with her prize steer, by her 4 H club. She went down to the barns (about a one mile walk) every day to stay with the animal and groom it.
Well when the show was over all the livestock was auctioned off and "sold Canada Packers" well the poor kid just just cried and cried until she got on the train back to the prairies. Mother who had never heard of 4 H before from that day forward never had a good word to say about them.
There is no question that people can form close bonds with animals that is why it is never a good idea to make a pet out of an animal that may end up as food.

This breed of pig originated in Vietnam. I really doubt they were kept as pets there. Maybe the SPCA there should tell us how many cats they destroy there each year.

I have heard in the past that good farmers teach their kids to never give names to livestock.

Every girl I date gets a warning: Dogs are pets, cats live in the barn and catch mice. Everything else is either game, livestock or pest and will be treated accordingly.
Used to date one that had a pet rabbit. Every time that stupid thing peed or crapped all over whatever it was sitting on, I considered renaming him hasenpfeffer.

Yeah, but all 4 Hers are well aware of the ultimate fate of their project and they're usually auctioned for way more than meat value alone.
