Who’s to say it’s not human?

That's fucking brilliant, and I would applaud out loud if it would do any good

God that's good!

I'm pretty sure all those cuts are human so this is perfectly normal.

Looks like a nice way to introduce children to poor people who vote right wing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And you’re a good way ro introduce children into how to classify people instead of standing with them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Standing with right wingers never but I'll quote one on the issue here "how do I reach these kids?.."

Butcher by day. Loan shark by night. Don't be late with your payments.

Well, pigs will eat anything, and anyone.

They'll eat their own, in some circumstances, though it's usually only going to be in bad conditions, or opportunistically. It's extreme rare to see it happen among feral swine, though it does sometimes occur. But wild pigs will eat any dead critter they run across, even other pigs. It's more rare that they'll eat another pig they know. It does happen, but even if you live where the damn ferals are endemic, you might only see evidence of it a handful of times over decades.

So, out of all animals that you'd think of for kid's stories, a pig is probably the most appropriate pick for a butcher. Maybe a cat or dog (though I think cats would just eat their business out of business, not wanting to share.) would fit.

Nazi pig: "Those pigs weren't real pigs, they're vermin that should all be butchered."

What about Donald Duck? He’s eating a chicken.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ducks and chickens aren't the same animal. They're both birds, but plenty of birds eat other birds from other species.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, I have never seen a duck eating meat, but it is just me, move on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Ducks are omnivores. When they stick their heads underwater, they're trying to catch prey like small fish.

I heard somewhere that society's only real jobs are the one you can depict in a children's book, but I don't know about this one.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The pig would say the same thing about humans

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Which is a bit unfair. I've not butchered any pigs, and I've only ever eaten one or two humans!!

(My autocorrect switched butchered to buggered above. (Un)Luckily (?) I had time to proofread and catch it before posting.

Possible patron at my market stall:

Ooh, hey, are those chicken fingers, they look nice, how much?

Me, a human:

Ar-herhm, Uh yes! Chi... i-iiicken fingers yes!

Ff-f-finger lickin' good!

"There is no cannibalism in children's literature! And when I say 'none,' I mean there is a certain amount."

I have this same thought every time I see the Gin Gins mascot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Oh, wow, wtf. Oh, wait it's ginger. That is still deeply disturbing, but not quite so bad as the dirty bandages and scar tissue covered auto-cannibalising amputee that I saw at first glance.

I always found it funny how Mads Mikkelsen became big in Hollywood movies as a serious actor when most of his work prior (exception being the Pusher movies) had been Danish dark comedies. And 'The Green Butchers' is one of those. I remember quoting it quite a bit like 'I smoke between 15 and 20 joints a day, I wouldn't even smell it if my hair was on fire'.

My favourite part from that one has always been the monologue about how grinding an animal down and putting it inside it's own asshole is a mythological humiliation humanity has forced upon nature.

Like humans, pigs eat (relatively) anything
