H$U$peak: “I’m a hog farmer. Not a pork farmer or a pork producer. We took the animal out of the equation so that we are less sensitive to the fact that, as farmers, we are the stewards of that animal. We’ve taken the hog out of the pork.”
–Joe Maxwell, The Humane Society of the United States, “meat”-industry co-worker of Wayne Pacelle, Paul Shapiro, Michael Greger
Uh, Mr. “Humane Society” Animal-Killer Maxwell: Don’t worry – the “hogs” never thought that they were taken out of the “pork”. Their pain and blood remind them that you don’t farm or produce tofu sausage. You are not a “pork farmer”, because “pork” is not farmed and grown from the earth like carrots, apples, or broccoli. You are a breeder and killer of the harmless and the innocent. You are not a “pork producer”. You produce nothing – but misery, sickness, and environmental destruction, resource depletion, and waste. It is those whom you breed who do all the producing – of babies, of flesh. The “hogs” never thought for a moment that they were taken out of the “pork”. They were constantly reminded by your stewardship – the forced impregnation by a serial rapist, the stabbing, throat-slashing, and beheading by a serial murderer – a fine steward indeed. You and your organization certainly know how to serve animals, well done.
