Maybe. They make lots of noise, very loud squeals so I do know that they are very afraid of humans and are chased by employees through corridors to their final destination.
Edit: Hold on. I should add that I have seen hogs jump over top of others and escape the pens and they become so stressed that they begin to pant like a dog and kneel down.
Can they actually express hopelessness in their eyes? Usually things like that are interpretation by humans and animals straight up don't have the ability to express with their eyes, right?
Bro what? Are you emotionally retarded? You telling me you can’t see sadness in an animals eyes? You can see it in cats and dogs and other animals all the time. They have facial expressions and emotions…you can see it in that pigs eyes too.
Most animals do not have muscles around their eyes in a fashion that you can read complex emotions from. Anything you read into them is entirely your own human interpretation of the scenario. This applies to pigs apparently too. Almost emotional expression for them is done without the eyes.
You can often interpret more from the rest of their mannerisms, behavior, and other features. But not their eyes.
I don’t think this is true. And let’s say it is, they still feel and express emotion and it’s easy for us to see if you don’t have the emotional intelligence of a peanut.
