I am writing to you because as a vegan and animal rights advocate I just wanted to let you know how your front cover story (Day of the Pig, May 21) made me feel. I have gotten to know pigs that are kept as pets and they have individual personalities and act no different than a pet dog would. Seeing that graphic photo of a young pig being roasted on a spit breaks my heart. If you can, imagine how you would feel to see a puppy in that picture instead of a pig. That is how I feel. I don't expect you to share my views because I know a lot of people don't, but I wanted you to know that there are people out there who feel very deeply about animals rights and that you have hurt them with this story. Please consider us in the future when printing stories. I'm not asking you to support my cause; I'm just asking you to try to print neutral stories so that I am not hesitant to open your newspaper in fear of being incredibly offended.
