PIGS FOR PETS

PIGS FOR PETS

Eccentric... ya, it has a nice ring to it but it;s not as cool as it sounds. Who ever wants to be involved with someone eccentric, someone with issues, with baggage? It's almost certain that we all know someone like that. They have obscure attitudes, dubious mind sets, cranky ideas or they are just plain tiresome? But you know what, we all are eccentric in some form or another. Ya... I know it sucks but then again there is always someone else who sucks a bit more.

Just look at the people who go to afterbirth parties. They don't go there to have a look at the baby but rather for their share of the cooked, fried or roasted placenta. That really sucks! Yuwee! Urgg! I don't know about you, but  to me that smacks of cannibalism. [By the way did you know that human placentas are used for cosmetics manufacture?] Ya.. eating other people's organs, that is really eccentric. Some people even drink blood and some are known to drink their own urine. Disgusting! Ya.. people do eat and drink all kinds of crap. That brings me to the epic of the hog, you know... the domesticated swine... the pig... the breakfast pork ... the bacon, ham? If you haven't read my previous blogs, find it HERE! and HERE!

Did you know that oink does not have a jugular vein like sheep, cows, goats and camels? It's probably because he's not one of them but rather an outcast, not welcome to the family. Just because the shoe could fit —since there feet looks alike— doesn't make him family, no, not in the least. So, to get back to the jugular thing. When the grazing animals are slaughtered, the jugular is severed and with the immediate loss of blood pressure the animal goes into a coma. However, after slaughter its spinal column is still intact, so the heart and its brain is still in communication, meaning the heart will continue to pump until the animal's body is drained of blood. The resulting meat then has virtually no blood in its meat which it's less prone to attracting Salmonella. Don't forget, decay sets in the moment of death!

But right now, touch your own throat and feel your jugular or that of your pet dog's or cat's. Go on..did you feel it? Lets us now take a look at piggy. Its " jugular" sits exactly in the centre of its neck, so you can't feel it. When slaughtered numerous nerves and neck tissue is cut before the butcher gets to its "jugular". The nerves responsible for communication between the pigs heart and brain gets severed and even though some flood flows, its heart has stopped pumping and the blood in the meat starts to congeal immediately on death. Hello Salmonella! Why do you think the cooking instructions for pork is so stringent? Pork must be properly cooked... or roasted on extreme heat or else you are bound to get a "healthy" dose of salmonella! Bloodborne diseases are certainly the worst disease carrier in the world!

Did u ever hear the squeals, shrieks and sounds of a pig being slaughtered? It's not a pretty sight nor sound I tell you. No wonder all the butchers have issues, and I'm certain these dudes never have a peaceful nights sleep. Any butchers out there volunteering their experience?

Piggy gets chopped up, its bones are are used to make buttons and the leftovers is ground-up to make Calcium food supplement tables, its bristles are used to make paint-brushes and the food additive L-cystein. The pig's skin is used to make leather soccer-balls, wallets, shoes and handbags and it's gelatin for sweets and jelly's and it's glycerin for making lipsticks. Pigs pancreas are commonly used for making the pharmaceutical drug insulin for humans. At one time a pig heart valve was transplanted into a human and occasionally pig skin is used for skin grafting in humans. Pig manure is especially used as a fertilizer for Mushrooms.

However useful piggy may be, he is the largest disease and parasite carrier of all animals and the sole cause of Ascariasis in humans and most recently "Swine Flue" H1N1. So, you still wana eat pork? Rather just Love Life. I think Pigs for Pets are just fine, pigs for sale ... debatable but I prefer pictures of Pigs. Scroll further down to read all the love letters about swine flue. Love Life, stop eating pork, eschew it...its poison.
