      Pigs are cannibalistic individually and infrequently, not FORCED on an INDUSTRIAL SCALE

      People don’t realize how common cannibalism is in other species. Just have a male and female hamster and you’ll find out.

        I think people know, but there’s this weird disconnect where it applies to bugs but not animals. Most kids know female mantis and spiders generally eat the males of their species, but far fewer know the realities of chickens or pigs. Always pretty easy to pick out the farm kids in biology class.
