That’s true. Teacup and potbelly pigs are full-sized pigs being marketed to stupid people. How stupid? Stupid enough that they want to keep a pig as a pet because oinque oinque, STOP RESISTING! As American pigs do.
Comment on How feasible is it to have a pet pig in an urban environment?
Hello_there@fedia.io 1 day agoI heard that there aren't mini pigs - just pigs that their owners partially starve to keep little. I'm no pig rancher so idk tho

There are “mini” pigs like my potbelly, and yes, some people starve them to make them look tiny for cute pics.
“The pig I’m selling you is this small!”
Mine’s 150#, but looks way smaller if you’re thinking of a 150# dog.

Well, there are small breeds of pig; potbelly pigs usually get only 150-250 lbs for example.
