I saw this on a PBS TV program once.

an experiment in living in a frontier house, a child took care of, played with and named the pig the family was raising.

parents shot the pig, and made the children watch.

followed by a family meal. the little boy didn't eat much.

Yes
No

That incident seems unnecessarily cruel, too.

Well, if it's a frontier house in the 1860s, yeah. There weren't a lot of Krogers around back then.

Now? Of course not!

really? that little boy needs to toughen up. I saw this little skit on an MTV program where the kids bonded with the little piggie and watched the proceess of that pig being killed and being processed into hot dogs. The kids were really amused by the factory tour and they happily ate the hot dogs after.

No, that's just mean.

My mother was a child during the Great Depression. Her family had a pet rabbit. One day her older sister told her that the rabbit ran away. That night for dinner they had rabbit. Her father told her it was chicken, but she knew it was rabbit—times were tough.

Whether I would eat the family pet or not depends on circumstances. Clearly, were we starving and raising a pig, well, the pig would obviously be in trouble of being eaten.

With a full stomach, and a gerbil in the house, I think the gerbil would be safe.

Depends on the situation; frontier days and that represented the only food for a 100 miles? Sure. Now, when there is a grocery store down the street and no one is at risk of starving (not in the US at least), no, fido would be safe then.

a bit much, dontcha think?

I would like to say that there is no way I would ever consider that but I have a very horrible feeling that when faced with starvation, you'll do the unimaginable! :(

^Well, Tads, if you can think about doing it, it isn't "unimaginable" is it? @:>)

by xxxxxxxx on Fri Apr 21, 06 4:24pm [+]

Haha, my friend did IC_lmao

His party trick consisted of swallowing a goldfish then bringing it back up, lol. My kids were most upset till they realised he'd spat it back out. Cruel or what!? IC_lmao

by xxxxxxxx on Fri Apr 21, 06 4:27pm [+]

^ Don't think the goldfish was too impressed either.

by xxxxxxxx on Fri Apr 21, 06 4:28pm [+]

Griffon...I suppose you're right there.. okay, yep, I'd eat Fluffy if I had to... bring on the ketchup!

by Tadema on Sat Apr 22, 06 4:25am [+]

They should not let the
child bond with the pig if it was destined for the dinner table...
