We live out in the country, and our neighbors raise horses, sheep, cows, goats, chickens, pigs, turkeys, ducks, etc... Our daughter occasionally feeds their livestock when the family goes on vacation.
Over the years their children have occasionally befriended a pig, as pigs can be highly intelligent and friendly, much like a dog. They had to tell their one daughter that the pig to which she had become so attached was going to the “Happy Pig Farm.”
MmmmmMMMmmmmmmbacon! My neighbor and I still use “Happy Pig Farm” as a humorous code-phrase, which means to slaughter livestock in such a way as to not traumatize the kids.
Our kids get to name the livestock. The three steers we have raised so far have been named; “Big Mac”, “Whopper”, and “Beef Jerky”...the last one was called “Jerk” on several occasions. Our kids know exactly where the meat on their plates come from.
