3 legged pig

There was a blurb on the news the other day about a lamb born with only 2 legs, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth on line about what should be done with it. It just made me think of the story of the farmer with the 3 legged pig.

There was once a farmer whose sow had a litter of pigs. There was a runt in the litter that wasn't going to survive, so the farmer brought it into his house. He and his family fed the pig from a bottle, let it sleep in a box by the fire, and generally treated it like a family pet. One night the farmhouse caught on fire, and the pig ran from room to room waking the family in time so they all escaped the burning house.

A newspaper reporter came out to interview the farmer about the incident, and said "I noticed the pig is missing one of his back legs. What happened?"

"Well" the farmer said, "that's one special pig. He's a hero. I wouldn't be alive talking to you today if it weren't for that pig."

"A pig like that, you can't eat all at once."

 

That is great Lucretia!

 

Ohhhh! This is going on my facebook lol. I have a (recently) vegan ex girlfriend who friended me recently that will very much appreciate it I think!

 

Thanks Lucretia, love it!

 

True story , right?

I didn't post it. She's becoming rather militant and I don't need her bombing the dairy behind my house lol.
