I'm not sure I want to laugh, but, well, I want to laugh.
Damn JM, I wish I'd used that story title instead. It's got everything...
The well-being of the hundred plus pigs is not mentioned. I hope they didn't suffer (except that they are going to slaughter anyways).
Some other sad news: 29 Pigs Stabbed by Drunk Man, Say Pigs
Are you people really unaware that pigs are traif? Like, what is your problem?
Pigs is traif. Tasty, tasty traif.
Saw a documentary recently, that kinda threw down the idea that Pork became unclean because of trichonosis, or the lesson Hebrews learned when some besieging army died of pork poisoning.
The documentary put forward the idea that pigs became traif because it tastes far too much like human-- or as it's sometimes known, "long pig."
And, I imagined the ghosts of the Franklin expedition saying, "what's yer point?"

You gotta wonder about some monotheistic religions and their hang ups about pigs. Just because they are smart enough to refuse to be herded around like sheep.... Get over the superstitions and stop bad mouthing the swine.
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
We Jews love pigs. That's why we don't eat them.
You think Hindus hate cows!?
Your turn.
What's eating you, Unionist?
I am put in mind of the British Raj, who tried to quell rumours circulating in it's Sepoy army that the cartridges (for muskets, the tops of which had to be bitten off in order to disgorge it's contents of powder, shot, wadding and finally a bit of powder for the pan {yes, sadly, I am a geek} ) were waterproofed with pig fat, by telling them it was waterproofed with cow fat. Which placated the Moslem soldiers nicely, until they rushed over to tell their Hindu friends in the army.
Remember Cawnpore Well.
And no one does.
Tommy, you never, ever, ever, fail to amaze me. Where in the panorama of your working-class life would you have run across that information? And why didn't I have the same advantages?
Over to you.
Unionist, what can I say, I am an equal opportunity atheist. What say we get together and see if we can't convince some Jain that tripe is really just textured tofu.
I could be religious. I would happily join a religion which proclaims that everyone else's "god" is real except our own.
Any religion which considers itself better than others should be deleted.
Islam, Judaism, Christianity - would be a good start.
The animals of this world would be much happier. Guaranteed. Even the red-breasted tofu.

Hey, give me a math problem to solve, you won't be so impressed.
I just read a lot, Unionist, and sometimes a subject really grips me so I delve into the history of it. Last month, it was Sea Chanties. Rebecca West suffers mightily, as she bears the brunt of all my enthusiastic singing.
But she loves a hogeye man.
One afternoon a few years ago Mme. Qa'bong phoned me at work to tell me there were cops with drawn firearms walking around in front of our house and down the street. A few minutes later she found out that a hog had somehow escaped from "Mitchell's Gourmet Foods" (the local slaughterhouse) on the far west side of Saskatoon, swam across the South Saskatchewan river, and ended up in our neighbourhood. The cops cornered the hog across from our kids' school, just a block over from our place. This was quitting time at the school, so they shoo'd the kids back inside, then executed the pig in a hail of gunfire.
