Why the dwarfs don't ride pigs
According to Benioff and Weiss, the reason that the dwarfs don't ride pigs as they do in the books is because the animal rights slobs jumped all over them about it. They did look into it, they wanted to do it, legally they couldn't. Better this way, I think, for practical reasons:  harder to direct a live-action pig. Plus the play acting with the one being Renly was a nice beat, seeing how insulted the Tyrells got. You can't do that with live pigs.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 05:13, April 14, 2014 (UTC)
