        How is it not cruel to you to buy and kill a living breathing conscious being? Pigs are intelligent creatures. Don’t they deserve an ounce of respect? They’re not inanimate objects you know.

        How would you feel if it was a dog? “We bought a 4H dog at the county fair once. The kid named her Barbie. It was one hell of a BarbieQ.”

        How would you feel if it was a slave? “We bought a 4H slave at the county fair once. The kid named her Barbie. It was one hell of a BarbieQ.”

        Why does it all of a sudden become bad if it is a dog or a human? Don’t we share the same capacity to suffer? Sure, there is a huge difference between a pig and a human, no doubt, but both are living breathing beings who feel pain and pleasure, have friends and family and have a desire to live freely and till old age.
