A happy pig.
A happy pig.

Wilma:

Now pigs are born in Iowa, on concrete floors, in factories.

They are fed a special feed mix, and moved from barn to barn.

Pigs grow fast, and by the time that they are nine months old, they get onto a truck.

Then off the truck and get in line.

Pigs are swiftly disassembled into many smaller parts.

Some parts go to Japan, some parts go to another factory, some parts get made into cat food.

There is no pig left, just parts.

 

Mona:

Where did the pig go?

Where is the happy pig part?

Only pork remains.
