message: I think filial cannibalism and savaging should come under one article, however I have recently created an article on infanticide in animals as well which was mentioned above. All of the content could potentially be merged there, but I think it would be getting a bit large, filial infanticide as a daughter article of both is a better option. The agricultural aspects could be given its own section, but I don't think it should be the main focus - as far as I know it only occurs in pigs as agricultural animals, but certainly occurs in many other species in nature. It should of course be summarized in cannibalism (zoology) and in infanticide (zoology). I think it should be named filial infanticide, as cannibalism implies infanticide but infanticide doesn't necessarily imply cannibalism. Richard001 10:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The more I think about it, I prefer to keep the separate articles.  The content is related, and there should be comparison and inter-linking between these related articles, but savaging is sufficiently important to deserve its own article.  There are numerous reliable third-party sources which specifically focus on the term "savaging" as a distinct phenomenon.  I suggest no merge at this time, given the current state of these articles.

thread_title: Requested move

message: I found this article confusing because of the term 'gilt'.  I'd always believed that a gilt was a female pig who had not yet given birth.  How then can a gilt savage her piglets....she is no longer a gilt, but a sow.  Use of the term gilt needs to be clarified, and perhaps it needs to be made clearer that this is a behaviour which may be more prevalent in primaparous female pigs (thereby avoiding any terminology confusion).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrChrissy (talk • contribs) 11:20, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusing terminology

message: I am planning on adding to this article, adding some length, content, the like. I plan to add sections regarding the effects of environmental factors, parity and prior experience on savaging. Additionally, I plan to add a section on savaging in different breeds, characteristic behaviours of savaging sows, preventative measures and behavioural modification practices. Below are some of the sources that I will be drawing from.

thread_title: Adding to article

message: I think that you've got a great plan for adding content to this article with a solid number of sectioned topics to contribute. Concentrating on savaging behaviours in different species is a good plan as these may vary more than one would think. A possible idea for addition could be triggers within species that exhibit this behaviour and how these triggers differ from other species and why (if the studies/sources are available). You've got a strong bibliography with reputable sources which is definitely needed in the original.

thread_title:  Yellow Martin's Peer Review 

message: Hi guys, so I added a bit of content throughout the article which I had copied and pasted from my sandbox. I had cited my references within the sandbox, and some of my references cited were references already used in the original article and other were new ones I had added. Anyways, the references list is now full of repeats and I am not sure how to fix this and would appreciate some help if any one would like to clean it up.
