A man is driving in farm country when he spots a pig with a wooden leg. He was curious, so he goes up the farmhouse and asks about it.
“That there is a special pig,” says the farmer. “Last winter my little girl fell through the ice on our pond. That pig jumped in, fought its way through the ice to reach her and dragged her back to shore, saved her life.”
“That’s amazing,” said the man. “But what about the wooden leg?”
“Well that ain’t all that special pig did,” said the farmer. “In the spring, the barn caught fire. That pig managed to open the barn door, unlatch all the pens and get the horse and cows to safety. Yes, sir, that pig saved ‘em all.”
“Yeah, that’s great, but what about the wooden leg?”
“It wasn’t too long after that we were all asleep when a twister was headed for the house,” said the farmer. “That pig started banging on the door and making so much noise it work us up. We just barely made it to the storm shelter. That pig saved us all.”
“Okay! That’s a special pig! But what about the wooden leg?”
“Well, mister, you just can’t eat a special pig like that all at once.”

Just keep the eggs and don’t hurt them.

We had cattle. Several of the “pets” became that year’s freezer items.

Wanda’s comment reminded me of a story.
