Scientists translate PIG GRUNTS into actual emotions for the first time in breakthrough that could one day let us communicate with swine
UK Daily Mail ^ | 3/7/2022 | Jonathan Chadwick

Researchers trained an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with 7,414 recordings of pig noises, gathered throughout the life stages of 411 pigs – including slaughter.

The algorithm could potentially be used to build an app for pig farmers that detects whether the animals are happy just from the noise they're making.

As already revealed in previous research, there are more high-frequency calls from pigs (such as screams and squeals) in negative situations.

At the same time, low-frequency calls (such as barks and grunts) occurred both in situations where the pigs experienced positive or negative emotions.

With an even more thorough analysis of the sound files, the team found a new pattern that revealed what the pigs experienced in certain situations in even greater detail.

Typical signs of negative emotions in pigs include:

- Standing still

- Emitting a lot of vocalizations

- Trying to escape

Typical signs of positive emotions in pigs include:

- Exploring their surroundings

- Having their ears postured forward

“Scientists translate PIG GRUNTS”

What does this have to do with animals?

pigs can talk to us and share their feelings? The end of bacon! Noooooooooooo!

Yeah, that’s the next step. “Don’t kill me! Tails up, don’t shoot!”

This is bad. They are trying to make pigs into humans to take them off the menu.

I will not surrender my bacon without a fight.

You're in a sad state when you talk to your food.
When your food starts to talk back, you definitely need unsolicited assistance.

The beasts, they hunger, and eat, and die;
And so do we, and the world's a sty;
Hush, fellow-swine: why nuzzle and cry?
Swinehood hath no remedy

I don’t care if they can learn, as long as they learn to taste good.

Anyone that raises small livestock knows this stuff. Yeesh. I raise hunting dogs and I can tell one bark from another - from a distance and while hunting!

These ‘scientists’ and ‘researchers’ really need to get out of the lab and spend some time in The Real World.

You know, where their food actually comes from? LOL!

We've already succeeded here in PRC (Politically Repressive Canada), with communicating with pigs.

The truckers showed us how with: 'F🍁CK TRUDEAU!' flags.

It must have worked because now, such flags are prohibited from Parliament Hill, because they are considered 'offensive' https://westernstandardonline.com/2022/03/ottawa-bans-f-trudeau-flags/

I, and MILLIONS of Canadians, find Prime Mistake True-dolt, to be offensive. Can we ban him from Parliament Hill, or better yet, Canada? He IS in the UK. Perhaps they can jail him for treason against the Crown and the Canadian Constipation Constitution.

TR🍁CK FUDEAU!
T🍁CK FRUDEAU!

The algorithm could potentially be used to build an app for pig farmers...

??? Those are the last people who would need a pig translator.

Academia, OTOH...

Inesway!

I know what they are saying.

“I don’t want to be bacon”

“”So sorry , Brandon, that is our purpose in life.”

Who pays for pig grunt research, anyway?
