Rescued piglets served up as sausages to firefighters

PETA is so dumb. Burning alive in a fire is not the same as being properly slaughtered. Its not a slow lingering painful death.
 
How could anyone possibly be disturbed? The animals are product made to be bread and slaughtered, they were a literal gift for saving the barn by the owner. It was six months ago

Have you ever gifted food to someone? Same shit, just this time the product that was saved was used as part of the gift.

This causes all kind of cognitive dissonance in me. Headache inducing. Really dark, painfully there is humour in there somewhere too.
 
Cat: All right, for your own sake, I'll be blunt. Why do the Bosses keep ducks? To eat them. So why do the Bosses keep a pig? The fact is that animals that don't seem to have a purpose really do have a purpose. The Bosses have to eat. It's probably the most noble purpose of all, when you come to think about it.

Babe: They... eat pigs?

Cat: Pork, they call it. Or bacon. They only call them pigs when they're alive.

Babe: But, uh, I'm a sheep pig.

Cat: [giggles] The Boss's husband's just playing a little game with you. Believe me, sooner or later, every pig gets eaten. That's the way the world works. Oh... I haven't upset you, have I? [chuckles softly]

Weird as hell on the surface but if these pigs were meant to be slaughtered for food from the start (ie not kept as pets) then there is no issue.

That's a grateful farmer. Well done. Like the sausages were considering what the firefighters are saying.

I don't care that they were eaten. I care the fact that firefighters risked their lives to save them from the fire in the first place. It would be like a house burning down, and you tell your rescuers to go save the cookies you were baking in the oven; then you give the cookies to them as a thank-you. It's dumb as hell.
 
Don't kid yourself Jimmy, if a piglet ever got the chance he'd save you and everyone you cared about and then eat you as barbeque.
 

PETA's opinion on literally anything shouldn't matter to anyone. TBF, they got used for exactly what they were being reared for (if the firefighters didn't get to eat them then they would've been sold to someone else for food anyway), at least they didn't wastefully burn in a fire, though saying they didn't suffer the same fate as overcooked pork does seem a tad ironic. Woulda maybe given them at least one to keep for a pet *shrug*

I'm not exactly sure what the story is. The pigs were going to be killed for meat anyway. Farmers generally aren't that sentimental about their livestock. He was probably happy his barn was saved.
