RE: IF ONLY ONE OF YOUR PIGLETS GOT HURT, WHY DID YOU PUT OINTMENT ON ALL OF THEM?

in #homesteading7 years ago

That's very smart. I'm glad you didn't get corny and call it "oinkment." lol. Smell to animals is so important. We humans don't respond to a child's scent like many animals respond. Right now in TN I see a lot of news articles begging people not to touch baby deer because their human scent causes the mom's to abandon their young. Lots of people think they are helping by feeding baby deer when their mom's aren't around but they could cause it to be abandoned.

Sort:  

A lot of people seem to do that these days. Unfortunate problem.
