Pity the poor pig
I hold all animal rescue organisations in very high regard for the wonderful work they do in caring for unwanted, stray and sick animals, and trying to re-home them.
However, I found the article "Bacon butties boosting animal rescue" (Mercury, January 21) rather contradictory. The "lovely aroma of bacon" is doing very little for the welfare of pigs!
Surely the coffee shop is an opportunity to introduce animal-lovers to non-animal butties. This would demonstrate concern for the welfare of all animals.

“But if stopped eating the humble but tasty pig, what would the point in having the species on the planet? Farmers won¿t keep them as pets, would they be put on the endangered species list??”

“The irony was lost on everyone, but at least the word 'Veggie' wasn't used. Ooops.
PS - I love bacon.”
