FfFfFfFF 58,375 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Pigs can play video games, scientists have found, after putting four fun-loving swine to the test. Four pigs - Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory - were trained to use an arcade-style joystick to steer an on-screen cursor into walls. Researchers said the fact that the pigs understood the connection between the stick and the game "is no small feat". And the pigs even continued playing when the food reward dispenser broke - apparently for the social contact. "This sort of study is important because, as with any sentient beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them," lead author Dr Candace Croney said. The research team also thought that the fact the pigs could play video games at all - since they are far-sighted animals with no hands or thumbs - was "remarkable". https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56023720 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can influence animal welfare laws. In Canada they recently made a law fining anyone (including workers) thousands of dollars for whistleblowing on animal cruelty in animal agriculture, and lawyers on behalf of the agriculture industry claimed we don’t know if cows feel or understand pain so there’s no need to let people know about animals being abused.
