Butcher by day. Loan shark by night. Don't be late with your payments.
The pig would say the same thing about humans
Which is a bit unfair. I've not butchered any pigs, and I've only ever eaten one or two humans!!
(My autocorrect switched butchered to buggered above. (Un)Luckily (?) I had time to proofread and catch it before posting.
Nazi pig: "Those pigs weren't real pigs, they're vermin that should all be butchered."
What about Donald Duck? He’s eating a chicken.
Ducks and chickens aren't the same animal. They're both birds, but plenty of birds eat other birds from other species.
Well, I have never seen a duck eating meat, but it is just me, move on.
Ducks are omnivores. When they stick their heads underwater, they're trying to catch prey like small fish.
Possible patron at my market stall:
Ooh, hey, are those chicken fingers, they look nice, how much?
Me, a human:
Ar-herhm, Uh yes! Chi... i-iiicken fingers yes!
Ff-f-finger lickin' good!
I have this same thought every time I see the Gin Gins mascot
Oh, wow, wtf. Oh, wait it's ginger. That is still deeply disturbing, but not quite so bad as the dirty bandages and scar tissue covered auto-cannibalising amputee that I saw at first glance.
He really loves his job.
Like humans, pigs eat (relatively) anything
No worries, it's all kosher
"There is no cannibalism in children's literature! And when I say 'none,' I mean there is a certain amount."
Well it's only fair!
What is that from? I think I had this one.
Its a picture of a cop
No no, cops kill minorities, not cops. Not even cops who are from minorities (usually).
Well if this was modern day america this would be wage slave kapo working at Jeff bozos Whole Foods. The modern reality is scary.
Pig is ikizukuri.
I wouldn't worry about it, animals don't feel guilt about cannibalism.
Those eyes. Those cold, emtpy eyes.
Scary eyes. Richard Scary eyes.
Welcome to the family, son

God that's good!
That's fucking brilliant, and I would applaud out loud if it would do any good
I'm pretty sure all those cuts are human so this is perfectly normal.
Looks like a nice way to introduce children to poor people who vote right wing.
And you’re a good way ro introduce children into how to classify people instead of standing with them.
Standing with right wingers never but I'll quote one on the issue here "how do I reach these kids?.."
Well, pigs will eat anything, and anyone.
They'll eat their own, in some circumstances, though it's usually only going to be in bad conditions, or opportunistically. It's extreme rare to see it happen among feral swine, though it does sometimes occur. But wild pigs will eat any dead critter they run across, even other pigs. It's more rare that they'll eat another pig they know. It does happen, but even if you live where the damn ferals are endemic, you might only see evidence of it a handful of times over decades.
So, out of all animals that you'd think of for kid's stories, a pig is probably the most appropriate pick for a butcher. Maybe a cat or dog (though I think cats would just eat their business out of business, not wanting to share.) would fit.
I heard somewhere that society's only real jobs are the one you can depict in a children's book, but I don't know about this one.
