I personally know of pig farmers, before JE struck, who told me pigs are as intelligent as humans, sometimes even better!

"When her daughter was called out of town on business, JoAnn offered to watch her pet, Lulu, a potbellied pig. While home alone, JoAnn had a major heart attack. She called for help, but no one heard her cries.

Lulu sensed JoAnn's danger and ran out of the house through a small dog door. The pig lay down in the street in an attempt to stop traffic.

Periodically, Lulu would return to the house to check on JoAnn, and then return to the street in search of assistance. Finally someone stopped and followed Lulu to the door. The good samaritan called 911, and JoAnn was rushed to the hospital.

Without Lulu's help, she might not be here today."
