And that sentiment includes all the sentient beings people eat.

Full grown hogs, not so much.

However, I can't eat them. I refuse to support factory farming of animals. My meat intake is restricted to an occasional hunk of organic chicken or wild caught fish.

While there is now organically grown pork sitting in the case at the health food store, I've gotten completely out of the habit.

Besides, baby piglets.

How intelligent and deep you seem. Why, everyone could learn from your gorgeous display of insensitivity. What a fucking GREAT PERSON YOU ARE.

Just brilliant. And so funny! No one is more funny than you. And certainly there's no cost to your comment. The person who posted the picture should certainly not have their feelings hurt -- you're just being witty, and adding to the general wisdom! If they're offended, it's their problem. Weepy little tree-hugger who actually likes pigs. WTF? Even though they're smarter than dogs, in fact, smarter than most animals, and even though it's a scientific fact that they experience mortal fear and agony just as we do -- it's still so funny when you mock them, licking your chops so to speak, because they can't talk or defend themselves in any way, so -- funny, see? Funny.

Laughing at pain is always funny. You're great. Just a wonderful person.

Awesome. Ha ha. Can't stop laughing at your wit. OMG. You're the best.
