I feel really bad because I have a male pot belly pig that we have to put down (vet's recommendation). He's attacked and seriously injured 2 of our other animals (unprovoked) and now lunges at us. We've had to pen him up VERY securely and are afraid to go into the pen with him.
He's an adult, intact male...probably 150 pounds. I hate the thought of just putting him down and burying him. I know that you can eat pot belly pigs (pigs are pigs - we've just made pot bellies pets)... But since he is my pet, I don't think I can eat him.
I've found someone who is willing to take him to slaughter...but the slaughter house cannot take him for 2 weeks! He spends every minute trying to bust out of the pen and lunges, jaws chomping at anything that walks by (even human)...I don't know if I can wait 2 weeks to have him gone. I'm afraid for my other critters and my children (who used to play with him). Should I just put him down myself now?
