I took this picture of Gloucester Old Spot piglets a few weeks ago, at St Werburgh's City Farm (a ten-minute walk from here), and forgot that it was on my phone till yesterday. So adorable! But which is the adorablest?

:-) I really would like to play with piglets. They are so sweet, and can be very smart. I watched a TV show at the gym on piglets and how they are raised, and have to say, I'm moving more and more towards looking for smaller farms in the area for meat. They aren't treated nearly as badly as veal calves, but pigs are so much smarter that they stress over being weaned and separated too early. I don't mind being an omnivore, but I am willing to eat a lot less meat if it means only eating critters that had happy childhoods...
