Not OP but it's possible they're referring to the "teacup pig" craze from a few years ago, which was just underfed farm piglets. People would buy them thinking they'd have a retriever sized pig and end up with a 500lb eating machine in their walkup apartment. A pig that would then be abandoned because that's too much pig for a small living space

Kune kunes stay fairly small (retriever size, as you put it). Granted they're about 3 times the density, but still manageable. Definitely need a lot of space for them though, no way I'd keep one in an apartment.

And that's the point, if you have space for a lil stable and can keep at least 2 pigs (ANY farm animal needs to be kept with at least 1 mate that communicates in the same manner, anything else is considered animal abuse where i live. Dogs are different cause obviously they've been house pets for 10k years, pigs sheep and alpaca haven't) that's all fine and dandy. Just learn about them and give them what they need, don't just put them in the role of a dog. Just cause they don't immediately DIE doesn't mean it's in their best interest.
