Hello everyone
I wondered if anyone could take a few minutes to complete a questionnaire for me and reply. I'm looking for the owners of pigs who may or may not regard them as pets as well. The questionnaire forms part of a task for my partners sociology research project. If you have a dog as well and could complete the survey with them in mind that would be great too.
Many many thanks
Questions below and as attachment.

Thank you for answering these questions.
It will help me consider the nature of the relationship between humans and non-human animals in specific circumstances.
