Have you ever considered having a pet pig? They're all the craze in Russia, apparently. ;)

Pigs are great animals. They're clean, smart, trainable, and not at all fuzzy to eat.

Well, if it were your pet, presumably you would feed it yourself.

I first heard this story watching a report on Russia Today news live, and they were explaining that pigs can indeed easily be trained in much the same manner as dogs. And, of course, contrary to popular misconception, they are indeed very clean.

It may be odd to see a pig lying on its owner's lap or being taken for a walk on a lead, but it's not really any different to having a dog.
