Message: <blockquote data-quote="Harry Haller" data-source="post: 146825" data-attributes="member: 14641">It is my ambition, to one day be able to retire to a smallholding, where I can grow my own veg and raise a few pigs and chickens. My wife enquired as to whether we would eat the animals. Of course I replied! I especially want a pig, whom I intend to call Mr Porky whom I intend to feed garlic truffles, apples and figs. I intend to rub Mr Porky every day, especially on his belly, with Olive oil infused with ginger, so that one day, We can Jhatka Mr Porky and eat him. My argument is that Mr Porky will have a better life and death with us, than if he had been raised on a farm and ended up in a slaughterhouse. My wifes argument, although not a vegan, but an animal lover, is that once you have looked into an animals eyes and loved it, you should not eat it, actually she goes one step further, according to her, it would be impossible, having watched her own parents back in Aberporth, kill the family chicken, and then cook it, and then sit at the dinner table and then spend the next hour crying. The chicken ended up uneaten..No point to be made, just another lighthearted story</blockquote>
