After seven months of eating, digging holes, and running away from me, it was time for one of our pigs (note: not Strawberry) to meet the great pig in the sky. I took her to the local abattoir because I don't have the equipment at home to humanely kill a pig. There, they electrocuted her to render her unconscious, before cutting the blood vessels close to her heart and bleeding her to death. She was then dehaired and hung for a day, before being cut into the requisite bits. The abattoir was clean and well-run; the staff professional and friendly. I've no doubt she lived and died in the best possible manner.
