If you think, that beeing killed by a wolfe is more cruel than
beeing killed in a slaughterhouse... it may be so or may not.

I don't think, that the number of pigs existing is of any concern to
a pig or anybody. It's not your interest that there exist
1,200,000,000
Chinese or some millions more or less you don't have any contact with.

That's for the killing and the number of individuums.

But what is with the life before?
Do *you* think, that the life that such a pig has in a pig-farmhouse
is acceptable?
Is it anything close to the life a wild boar has is the woods?

What have farmhouse "pigs" to do with wild boars anyway?

Maybe true?
What kind of next life will a pig encouter after experiencing a cruel
death?
What kind of life must a soul have had to
have the live of a farmhouse pig as the next?

I find the religious perceptions of nature people (like aboriginee
or amazonas indians, or various native americans or others)
quite impressive. But falconry?

What does falconry religion tell you about the sense of live? Rabbits?
What does falconry religion tell you about good or right? Is strong
right?
What does falconry religion worship? Falcons?

just wondering
