Beer Swilling Pig...

Thinking about the lengths people will go to to make money often stops me in my tracks.  Specifically where animals are concerned.  Business relationships that rely on an inequity of power make me sad and angry.

I came across this today "Beer Swilling Pigs..." and I'm speechless.  Not only that people would have pigs at a pub and allow people to feed them beer - but sell them the beer to feed the pig - and that there are people out there that would actually do this.

It's mystifying and saddening.

This is the pub in question.  I won't name it - the last thing it needs is more publicity.  The link posted is from a government (!!!) tourist website - that is promoting not only this pub - but the fact that you can feed beer to these pigs.

I found this article to be quite distasteful as well.

I'm going now.  To find my happy place, to think kittens and whiskers and packages tied up with string.

I, too, don't like animal cruelty - we drink and know it may be bad for us, they don't. Next to that article is a link about tortoises. That one is upsetting, too. I imagine that is all about money. If the sender is poor, I am sorry for him/her/them - but there must be a better way to survive.
