    The first time we harvested one of our pigs we had a wake for him. We ate all kinds of delicious cuts and raised a toasted to him.

    To Biggun. He was a nice pig and he is a tasty pig.

    TO BIGGUN!

        If you like: pretending that killing an animal is morally equivalent to killing a human

        You should try: growing a brain

          When did I say that? My statement points out that rituals to make yourself feel better about killing an animal do not change that animal’s experience of being killed or the moral weight of that action

            You said they were morally equivalent when you called it murder, and you said it again just now. Why does killing an animal for food carry any moral weight? Cheetahs don’t get any flak for hunting caribou.
