Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 22, 2015

Mary had a little lambWith peas and mashed potatoes…

Well, just about everything that exists naturally that we ingest is alive at some point. The irony is the folks who don’t want to eat certain things often claim what they do eat as not being a living thing.

Is that Chucky the non-anthropomorphic sheep?

I prefer veal. I hear they die of boredom from being chained to a rail to keep their muscles soft.

about all I can afford to eat anymore are the three little pigs…or maybe chicken little…and then only when on sale…

I haven’t heard of not eating some things because they’re not alive. Perhaps having to do with intelligence, not life. Most of the issues boil down to abuse and health and has nothing to do with living, or intelligence. I’ve never heard of a stalk of corn being abused (GMO aside, which is another issue). Chickens, on the other hand, wind up in the news because of it. Eating a pig is the same as eating a dog. Actually, pigs are more intelligent. People acutally eat dolphins, too, though it’s not as wide spread as it was.

Uhh, Pig, do you own a dictionary? Look up “lamb.” Ex definitione, a lamb cannot die of old age. So, let that be on your conscience!

What utter nonsense. I lived by the hog farms & chicken processors. That’s real stuff. I’m no vegetarian, but there are real abuses, and PETA has nothing to do with them.

Moody Blues, We decide which is right and which is wrong which is an illusion……………

Complete and utter BS.

Do sheep get progeria?

How does Pig make a pig of himself?

Ewe are joking, pig? Right?!

Roadkill, perhaps ?

well it did??????????????????????????????????????????????????????i am guessing

Sort of reminds me of a commercial from a few years ago —Buddhist-monk like man walking along a path, stops to help a small creature (turtle?) cross the path, rescues a kitten from a tree limb, adroitly side-steps a caterpillar, etc.Stops to blow his nose – then notices the product claims to “kill 95% of germs”…

If it did, then it must be mutton…

How would Pig like it if a lamb invited him to a breakfast of bacon and eggs?

Mary had a little lamb…boy, was she surprised!

I have some bad news for you, Pig….

Hope you never try to cook veal, or worse, suckling pig.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world as it has ever been and ever shall be.

I once worked in a bar with a boss who was the meanest most vicious SOB on the planet, except when it came to rats. Then he was all for capturing them humanely and releasing them back in their natural habitat. When I pointed out to him that the garbage dumpster in the back alley is their natural habitat he threaten to fire me. I always figured his compassion for the rats came from a sense of kinship.

Mary had a little lamb, You’ve heard this rhyme before.Then she passed her plate againAnd had a little more.

Mary had a little lamb,little lamb,little lamb.Mary had a little lamb…

…and the doctor fainted.

Now that is a new one to me!

douglas adams — the restaurant at the end of the universe, a cow appears that’s been especially bred to say how happy it is to be cooked and eaten. “you meet the meat”. the main character arthur is very uncomfortable and demands a salad while the rest of the group chows down on beef. genius

It was like this when I found it.

I heard some people were disturbed about Charlie Brown Thanksgiving because they showed Woodstock eating turkey. CANNIBALISM!

Meat is murder.

Huskies always look like they’re up to something.

Technically, you didn’t kill it, so you have nothing to worry about.
