I used to work at a mixed animal vet clinic. We occasionally saw pigs. No one had done any research beyond “feed pigs your scraps, profit”. When the pigs got sick, the owners didn’t have any means or knowledge of restraint or sufficient husbandry. It causes further stress to the animals if they can’t be properly handled. Additionally it puts the humans at greater risk if you are not prepared to have the pigs restrained.

I'm going to make garlic chips this afternoon. We picked up a big bag of garlic bulbs from Costco this week. Do those count as Granite State chips?

I agree that we need a better voting system to get out from under the two-party stranglehold and make it viable for people to vote for someone they actually like.

However, RCV can lead to some strange and undesirable outcomes (such as where voting against your preferred candidate helps them win by eliminating their strongest competition) See this article for some examples:
