Silly woman. She should have aborted his baby instead. Then she would be hailed as a hero.

50 years?? Cruel and unusual.

Make her buy him 2 piglets and give the little piggies an order of protection.

Play a prank?

What kind of prank is killing an animal?

She probably already did.

Right, if she’d aborted a baby, she’s make $300 to $500. Decapitate a pig? 50 years. That makes sense, doesn’t it? May God have mercy on us!

You are right. She could abort a child with no consequences at all.

Short-sheeting the bed is a prank.

Decapitating the piglet your boyfriend raised as therapy after suffering a head injury is vicious evil depraved rubber-room bitch from hell.

Seems a little extreme. It wasn’t her pig, thats the thing I guess. There are murderers of people who get less time than that!

If she had beheaded someone in the name of ‘Allah’ (wizz be upon him)...she would’ve gotten a lesser sentence.

And yeah, 50 years is a long time. But I doubt she’ll get anywhere near that.

I could go about 3 to 5 years of busting rocks, though.

One of the more interesting posts at the source courtesy of Carl Curmudgeon and I quote

Hell hath no fury,
Like a woman scorned,
Now they will hurry,
While the piglet’s mourned,
To jail his slayer,
Ashley of the knife,
Without a prayer,
She took Porky’s life,
Now she will do time,
In a prison cell,
She has done the crime,
We don’t wish her well.

Okay, now this is my contribution - This sounds like a scene straight from HAM - let.

50 years seems like a lot. OTOH, it seems like a pretty sick thing to do if it was a pet. If she’d decapitated a puppy or a kitten as a “prank”, I’d want her locked up long enough for a psych exam. That’s the kind of thing a sociopath might do for entertainment.

>> beheading her boyfriend’s piglet

Is that what they’re calling it now? “Piglet”?

What happened to “johnson”? Am I that old?

Guess what’s for Thanksgiving dinner this year!

When I was growing up on a farm in Iowa, the standard rule concerning edible livestock was that any critter that has a name is safe from becoming Sunday dinner.

My sister and I had a pet turkey named “Tom” (how original...hey, we were kids) that we raised from a ‘chick’ and he was imprinted with the image of us being his mom.

He followed us around constantly like a spare shadow and always came out to meet us, getting off the school bus each afternoon. He’d come out and fan out his feathers and strut around a bit. It was his main, possibly only, talent.

In early November, word leaked out to us that he was going to be the main course for Thanksgiving dinner. The old rule had been over-ridden and Tom was about to be “axed” literally.

Come the day before Thanksgiving, we all dreaded what was about to happen and nobody would volunteer to be his executioner. Just thinking about it spread through the family to where we were all nearly in tears.

Happy ending:

We couldn’t bear to kill Tom for dinner, so we ate the dog.
