I know these pigs hadn’t seen death or had that kind of loss. Your idea here is important, but overplayed. It’s important because we have not given animals enough credit, but it’s overplayed because you’re giving them way too much human characteristics. For starters, they don’t have language, so their depth of thought and feeling are not similar. Imagine what they think about the origins of food. Hint: basically zero idea. Their thoughts on death and loss will be similarly weak.
