I love vietnamese pot-bellied pigs. They're so cute!
They are just adorable, but sadly, they are endangered traditional Vietnamese small pig breed.
Really? I had no idea. Any particular reason why?
I'm not sure, but I think it is because they are reared for the meat so often.
Ah, they are used for food. That makes sense. But, wen I think of pot-bellied pigs, I think pets.
I do too! That's why its so sad to me that they are endangered. They were actually the most numerous pig breed up until the 1970's. 
Wow, that seems like such a short amount of time for a species to become endangered. That is sad!
It is tragic. They actually started a conservation program, providing subsidies to farmers who reared these pigs, but they found the only thing this did was increase inbreeding.
That's terrible, and definitely not conducive to creating a thriving species. 
Definitely not. These pigs are so cute too, they're black and have really short legs and a low hanging belly. When they are pregnant, the belly drags on the ground. Haha.
