Pigs are known to be quite intelligent animals. They eat both plants and animals, using their snout as a tool for searching for food. Newborn pigs recognize their mothers voices, and can even recognize their names by the age of two weeks. Pigs communicate with one another, using more than 20 different inflections. They will snuggle close to each other, and dream when they sleep. They can run up to 11 mph and squeal as loud as 115 decibels. Pigs have a lifespan of 10-15 years, though are slaughtered around six months of age. There are millions of pigs on the planet, and the majority are confined to a life of pain and suffering.
