Re: Front page photo - Day of the Pig

I was made aware of the heartbreaking photo on the front page of your publication (Day of the Pig, May 21) with the slaughtered young pig being roasted on a spit for a celebration.

I and many others feel this was very inappropriate as a photo. Many of us believe that pigs and other farmed animals do not belong on our plates. This is a graphic image depicting the sad reality for these animals. The little boy in the photo is not impressed because he is following his childlike instinct that tells him this is wrong. Unfortunately people become desensitized by being exposed to such events and photos and stop questioning what they feel is wrong.

Thank you for letting me express my outrage.
