What is the message behind this poem?

What is the message behind this poem?
The pig by roald dahl
In England once there lived a big
A wonderfully clever pig.
To everybody it was plain
That Piggy had a massive brain.
He worked out sums inside his head,
There was no book he hadn’t read.
He knew what made an airplane fly,
He knew how engines worked and why.
He knew all this, but in the end
One question drove him round the bend:
He simply couldn’t puzzle out
What LIFE was really all about.
What was the reason for his birth?
Why was he placed upon this earth?
His giant brain went round and round.
Alas, no answer could be found.
Till suddenly one wondrous night.
All in a flash he saw the light.
He jumped up like a ballet dancer
And yelled, “By gum, I’ve got the answer!”
“They want my bacon slice by slice
“To sell at a tremendous price!
“They want my tender juicy chops
“To put in all the butcher’s shops!
“They want my pork to make a roast
“And that’s the part’ll cost the most!
“They want my sausages in strings!
“They even want my chitterlings!
“The butcher’s shop! The carving knife!
“That is the reason for my life!”
Such thoughts as these are not designed
To give a pig great peace of mind.
Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,
A pail of pigswill in his hand,
And piggy with a mighty roar,
Bashes the farmer to the floor…
Now comes the rather grizzly bit
So let’s not make too much of it,
Except that you must understand
That Piggy did eat Farmer Bland,
He ate him up from head to toe,
Chewing the pieces nice and slow.
It took an hour to reach the feet,
Because there was so much to eat,
And when he finished, Pig, of course,
Felt absolutely no remorse.
Slowly he scratched his brainy head
And with a little smile he said,
“I had a fairly powerful hunch
“That he might have me for his lunch.
“And so, because I feared the worst,
“I thought I’d better eat him first.”

Why are so many people against modern farming?

Regardless of whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore, a person’s gotta eat. Modern farming techniques use technology to feed the hungry masses in the most efficient manner possible. So, to get the highest yield, a farmer’s gotta put a fertilizer on the crops. (Fertilizer is a general term that encompasses man-made and natural.) A lot of people seem to have a problem w/this, although, w/proper management, it’s perfectly safe. (FYI: Consumers use more fertilizer than the entire agriculture industry on their lawns n stuff.) Also, they put pesticides on their crop or use GM organisms. Judging from the organic movement, people don’t like this either. Lots of animals are slaughtered everyday in the U.S. Smithfield slaughters over 100,000 pigs/day, but I don’t think about that when I eat my bacon in the morning. There is a lot of controversy over how animals get treated on farms, too. I really don’t think most animals get treated badly on large farms. If you think so, would you rather eat locally grown & raised?

If the bible is not there to pick and choose from…?

then why do so many people do it? I’m not here for debate, just for understanding. I like to learn about all different cultures and cults.

"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard"

"Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves"

"Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material"

"And the pig… you must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you"

In my answering of a question, I began wondering, with all the people saying the bible isn’t there to pick and choose, how many of you follow all of the above? Are farmers sinners? What about people who wear clothes with more materials? If I eat bacon am I a sinner? If I get a cross tattoo that says ‘I love my mom’ am I a sinner? I get my hair cut regularly, am I hell bound? My dad shaves, does he need to repent?
Well, then why is it okay to change the word of God?

Question #8: What happens to your red nose when you sneeze? Do you get an electric shock? Does your snot (a.k.a. mucus) glow red? Have you ever sneezed on your pig friend?

Question #9: How often do you have to change your nose-bulb? And where do you buy nose-bulbs? Do you order them online?

Question #10: If you ate your pig friend, do you think it would end the friendship?

Thank You

Animal cruelty against pigs and cows?

I am a person who believes that animals should be treated like part of the famliy, and I do not eat meat. However, how is it possible that people go to jail for animal crulty against pigs and cows? I mean we humans and even other animals eat bacon, burgers, ribs…all that stuff everyday and the people who make it don’t go to jail. Yet, if a farmer can not afford to feed his animals he can go to jail for them bein too thin. I mean I get that when you slaughter animals they die quick, as opposed to them slowly dying from hunger. My thing is if they are allowed to be slaughtered everyday how is it a crime if they end up dead either way? I think that’s so bananas, what do you all think?

Guys, I'm writing this story for creative writing class, and i need some ideas and suggestions.?

My story is about a pig. A baby pig. He looks back on the night where he last saw his father, the farmers take him away, and then he hears fathers cries for help, along with some screeching noises. The screeching noise happens to be the chainsaw that sliced his father. The baby pig always sits outside his barn, each day all day, hoping Dad kept his promise and come back for him. Daddy will come back, i know he will, he always says. His mother didnt want to tell him what happened that night, she only wanted to protect him, and keep him happy. The baby pig doesnt know what bacon, ham, sausage or death means. Later his mother was killed, he heard the same noise.(chainsaw). Then at the end of the story, he was killed

What do you think, I wanna make this story as sad as possible. I want to hear sympathy, and see peopole cry.

Do you have any ideas?

How many types of wild hogs are there? Are they all good to eat? What is the best hog for food purposes?

I live in Oregon and we have little or no wild hogs. They call them ferrel pigs and are shot and reported on sight. The point is I hunt everything legal in my state and my wife who has never hunted, expressed interest in hunting hogs. She loves bacon and ham, knows how to use a gun and wants to do it. I am probably going to have to travel and would like to get advice. It is very important to her that it provides food for the family. It is important to me she has fun. I have seen the little javilina pigs and I don’t know if they are good eating but they would not make very good photos. I would like to find the closest largest most cost effective pig to hunt.

Does the punishment fit the crime?

Through the kitchen window a farmer’s wife sees her son coming home from school. The boy’s in a bad mood, and as he crosses the field he kicks a pig. He walks a little further and kicks a cow. Once inside, his mother says, "I saw what you did, young man! For kicking the pig you’ll get no bacon for a week, and for kicking the cow, no milk for a week." Just at that moment, the boy’s father walks through the door and boots the cat halfway across the room. The boy looks at his mother and says, "Do you wanna tell him, or should I ?"
Ok it’s been over an hour, for those that don’t get it: a cat is sometimes also known as a PU$$Y cat!
