Yesterday I was in line at the grocery and the woman in front of me, the cashier and the bagging woman were talking about bacon. I wasn't really paying attention since I was far to busy reading the covers of the gossip magazines.  I really didn't even know what they were talking about except for hearing brands of meat. I was wearing a tee that has a picture of a pig and says "I don't have any spare ribs". The cashier said- we like your shirt and I said oh thank you. She said, we feel guilty because we're talking about bacon. So I said well veggie bacon is really good but don't feel too bad- I'm buying chicken and steak for my husband right now. It turns out both the cashier and the bagger used to have pet pigs. They were practically fighting over who was going to tell me the next pet pig story and how sweet they were and how smart they are and all of the amazing things that they did. I just listened and said how cute but I was thinking- OMG then how do y'all EAT them??!!  Even when I ate meat I couldn't have eaten an animal if I had had one as a pet. People can be funny. |
OMG that is crazy! That's so funny that they were talking about bacon and then there you are wearing that shirt
ppl are funny, like seriously i just could never eat anything i see grow right in front of me, thats like eating family. But yea they are incredibly smart animals, i was watching a segment on t.v. about them and how they are smarter than dogs. They do tricks, i have heard of them saving people from fires, all sorts of stuff. Denise Richards has a couple pet pigs. That's why i like her, she is an animal lover lol i base my reasons for liking people on if they love animals or not
I remember when i was at bike camp in middle school, we visited this amish family for a day and they showed us their pig pens, they had all these mother pigs caged next to each other, side by side and their little piggy babies, they were sooo cute! I was just thinking how could they raise them, watch those little piggies grow and then eat them?? i just can't imagine! The other day i was flipping channels on tv and i turned to Nat. Geo and there was this nice little girl in France talking about how she loves riding her horses, cause her family owns horses and she thinks of them as her family and friends and she loves them, I was all thinking ohh how nice, i love horses and then 2 seconds later i see them eating them at dinner
I was like WTH!! They raise them to kill them but she also rides them. It's this show called Taboo about different things people eat in different countries, it's very interesting but also gross. In some place they eat rats, its a delicacy to them and in Phillipines i think it was they eat this thing called Baloup, which is a fertile egg, they kill it at a couple weeks after everything has formed and then they cook it like a hard boiled and eat it like that with feathers and all. eww it was so gross!
