I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and again:

Why are pigs so goddamned suicidal? Is it because they're pink and plump, which obviously makes them want to be eaten? Pink probably also more closely resembles "white" skin than a spotted cow or yellow chicken. Just guessing.

I'm sorry to say it but congratulations and thank you for documenting this horror.

Have a happy holiday if you can.

Happy Aniversary! I hope you celebrated it in suicidefood style, perhaps grooving to the stylings of Jammin' Joe or one of the many fine animal bands out there.
