Poor Pig

01.09.2005 17:30

I feel so very sorry for the people of West Papua. I also feel very sorry for the pig they plan to devour. Perhaps when more people are compassionate enough not to eat the creatures who share this planet with us, then they might just learn to show compassion to other human beings.
