A while ago people were conned into buying micro-pigs under the promise that they wouldn't grow...turns out they were just normal piglets and they grew into massive fat pigs.

Moogle Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 You're gonna have a full on farm at the speed you're goin', Caledonian! I'd say go for it if you know how to care for them & can afford to. Also I just checked out what they look like... what adorable little fluffs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 5 minutes ago, Mr. Fox said: Why do you think scots wear kilts? Sheep can hear a zipper from miles. Fun Scotland fact! The old law system said that when you stole a sheep, your hand would be cut off. Having sex with a sheep, however, was only punished by the cutting of a finger. In times of poverty sheep were stolen, but when caught redhanded, the thief would claim he was going to shag the sheep, to avoid losing a whole hand. This caused the stereotype. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so that's one hand for stealing the sheep and another finger for shagging it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the source of the stereotype isn't just that enough people were shagging sheep that a fucking law had to be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular one is brought up and fed by hand from birth, so it's not afraid of humans in the slightest. That makes it an even better pet. And first the owner did not want to sell me just one sheep, because herd animals get lonely and then whither away. But when explaining we already own two goats he explained that those are similar enough to not let anyone go lonely. I'm only afraid Whiskey will hurt such a small sheep as the young billy goat has a tendency to fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
