Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 What a sad story. Those poor creatures. ~ pt ~ " Our Spiritual belief is that we were created as part of the land - so our identity, our names, and our songs are all tied to the land.

One girl who had raised her pig was sitting in the pen with it drawing lines on the pig's body, labeling each area according to the cut it would be called after slaughter. This picture was on the front page of our paper. But what on earth are we teaching these children and putting them through? Are we deliberately desensitizing them and then wondering why they are as they are? The pig couldn't walk but she made him. The auctioneer explained to us that the pig had broken its leg the previous Wednesday and this was Saturday. It was obviously in great pain. It had never received medical care. Why? Because it was going to slaughter anyway. I went to the pen afterwards where the pig was and just sat with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
