How come you include pigs but leave out cows?
- Ruthalas 6y agoThe parent commenter has probably, like me, heard that pigs are remarkably intelligent. I haven't heard the same of cows. That may very well be a skewed understanding, but it's likely why they choose that grouping.
- OrbitRock 6y agoPersonally, I don’t see cows as very different from dogs. They’re just as social and emotional as dogs are. Intelligence wise, dogs are probably a bit smarter. But how much, I don’t know, they don’t seem that radically different.
- Ruthalas 6y agoI suspect you have more experience than I, and I know my imagining is poorly founded! I think pigs have just received enough good PR recently that they come to mind as another particularly intelligent animal.
- RamRodification 6y agoMaybe the size also helps? Closer to a dog or a cat, cows are not.
