Clearly, you are the ignorant one. Reading may do you some good little Canadian girl. These pigs aren't pets, they're farm animals in a 3rd world country. They're not fed PetCo packaged foods, taught to do tricks and sleep at the end of the bed. They are raised, organically mind you, on rural family farms as livestock. I understand if you have a problem with corporate conglomerate industrial sized "farms" that pump out meat as a product, but family farms! That's moronic. I'd love to see you tell the poor folk in Nicaragua to eat vegetarian. Pigs are very inexpensive to raise, mainly because they feed on rotted food and don't take away the family's supply. Crops you say!? Yeah, because all the poor people in 3rd world countries are mass land owners and can afford seed, farming equipment, and labor. Not to mention that this ingenious project is not about pigs, it's about the education of children that would otherwise never go to school. Vital education that will allow Nicaraguans to come up with their own economically sustainable projects, or even their own educated opinions on whether eating meat is morally permissible. It takes a "special" person like yourself to not educate themselves on the topic their speaking about.
