Pinky the pig is an outside and farm animal. While on the other hand gabby my dog is an inside and house trained animal. Pinky is not house trained, and would probably have an accident in the house if we left her in the house for a long period of time. Pinky would also probably destroy the house. As if we left gabby to stay outside, she wouldn’t know what to do, she would probably set there quietly or barking to come in, she although would know to use the bathroom outside. Nor would gabby probably not destroy anything, just bark to come in because she didn’t like being outside for a long period of time. Then the bodies, a Pigs body is usually rough or fairly rough, while a dog body is usually very soft and fuzzy. A pigs body usually just had very little fur and is prickly, and dogs body usually has a lot of fur and is very soft. As you can see that pigs and dogs also have differences.

    We, in the United States are meant eaters. Today’s news is often filled with the effects and causes of global warming, with the main focus being related to carbon gas (CO2) emissions, reducing oil-based and coal energy usage. By comparison, what is not well known or often reported, is the tremendous impact of raising farm animals, mostly cows and chicken, for food production, the strain on resources, carbon emission, and the corresponding toxic run-off, to name a few. By further investigating the results of these massive farm production undertakings, and how damaging their impact is to the planet as reported by John Vidal in an article published in “The Guardian”, the current way these animals are raised is more recently of interest by politicians, scientists, economists, and the UN alike. Our relationship with animals is severe and must be changed in order to help solve the human and ecological concerns, and solve the problem of the already 1 billion people who do not have enough to eat and the 3 billion more people to feed within 50 years (Vidal).…
