Featuring a slaughtered, dismembered intelligent being on the front page of your paper (Day of the Pig, May 21), or anywhere in your paper, is grossly offensive, inappropriate, and disturbing to anyone who has not desensitized their hearts to the horror of it. Had it been a dog, would you have dared to print the photo or write a lighthearted story about it?
The news story that deserves to be written about a baby pig being betrayed, split open, stretched and twisted over a fire, is a story of the hardness of human hearts toward our fellow animals, and the obscenity of human laughter and celebration in the face of terrible suffering and injustice.
Calling it the Day of the Pig is just a further offense to the victim.
