Kane99 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Say what? According to Complex, pigs can play simple games. A study from Purdue University found that with training, pigs can utilize a screen and joystick. They use their snout to move a joystick across a screen, and once it gets to the other side, a treat is dispensed for the pig. The cool thing about this, is that the pigs had to learn it themselves, since we can't literally teach them, they had to figure out that moving the cursor across the screen gets them a treat. Wonder if this type of thing could be done with other animals like dogs or cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are so god damn stupid they can't see an open 16' gate, or remember where they get fed. I grew up on a stock farm and have raised a lot of animals. The only animal I ever worked with that was any dumber than a pig was sheep. I'm not counting birds in this. And we raised just about everything. Horses, cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, geese, and even some wild animals as I had pet raccoons. And while they're not exclusively a farm animal, we raised brittany spaniel bird dogs. We had a neighbor who raised pigeons. A couple towns over there were white tail deer, moose, and elk breeders. All bred in captivity.

I think farm pigs are very passive animals, that's why they might seem stupid. And that's why passive people get walked on. But compare farm pigs to wild pigs and everything changes in behavior and looks. That's why the Chinese Lunar Pig is usually represented as a passive person born in that year. And if the pigs would get their eyes up from the ground then they could see the gate! Some pigs would live their whole life and never look up if they could.

I live in a very farm-heavy area, and I concur wholeheartedly. Pigs are dumb af, and that's even compared to other livestock. To be fair, though, I think a lot of different animals can be trained to do various tasks in exchange for a reward. What I'd really like to see is what would happen if they tried this with monkeys.

According to the article, it was two Yorkshire pigs and two Panepinto micro pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 If we the smart humans can be putting gorilla glue all over our bodies, pigs playing video games isn't so hard to believe. Withywarlock and Reality vs Adventure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 My speculation is that you can literally train cats and dogs for some video games. I am sure they would respond to some. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they would respond to some. That is possible because I remember them doing a VR test with some dogs a few years ago and they were very responsive to the events in-game.
