Well, it is a play of words, perhaps not entirely appropriate, but point was made. Definitely not proposing to have the image of the Holy Mother replaced with one of a pig in holy places... Still, pigs are killed (is it okay to say 'give their lives'?) for food, for clothing, for medicine now, and in the future. It's not about pigs, really - but sheep also treated similarly (save for the medicine yet), while horses and chimps not so much. Dogs - as many pointed is difficult to imagine having dogs for food or waist-belts or ... heart donors. Should we wrap up things with "it's about life to kill things to live", well, it'd be a dramatic over-simplification of what life is about. And it's not as much the way of "life without humans", because (afaik) no animal is known to mass produce or mass kill and definitely not using other animals fur/skins for clothing. What we can say is that humanity is very much accustomed to this perpetual exploitation, but it is a very long discussion before it can be justified as the 'way of life'. Of course - this is my position, and not trying to impose it, just making a point really. Not trying to convince anyone to quit meat, or to not buy a nice purse. Just taking a moment to reflect.
