This is something that has left me thinking. And looking at the face of those little piggies up there, I'm 100% that I wouldn't kill them.
To clarify, I also eat meat: chicken mostly (because is what is most abundant in my country), pork and fish, in that order. Beef is forbidden in Cuba and I can go to jail if they catch me with it.
I feel I would be able to kill a fish (and I say this from the comfort of my desk) but it would have to be seen at the time.
Maybe it sounds hypocritical, because I really like meat, but killing the animal is something I have never considered.
And this is a very fucked up thing, because if you think about it, no animal would have any objection to killing us if we were their lunch.
The image of the pig being processed by a man is very familiar to me, my grandfather like yours also raised animals for self-consumption.
I wonder what country you are from and why the food was rationalized. In Cuba this is still going on and food scarcity is a serious thing.
Wow, this is a surprise. I need to read up on the topic to see what's going on there. I hope they are going to lift the ban as restrictions are never good.
When I was writing my post, was thinking of this and was expecting to be called a hypocrite. No one did it yet, but who knows :)
That is a very valid point. The law or the jungle, kill or be killed.
I'm from Romania, where there was communism till the end of 1989. I suppose that says everything. If you live in Cuba, you understand more than others. I hope life will change in Cuba one day, sooner than later as the direction where the country is going is not the right one.
