That’s fucking brilliant, and I would applaud out loud if it would do any good

Looks like a nice way to introduce children to poor people who vote right wing.
Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 1 month ago
And you’re a good way ro introduce children into how to classify people instead of standing with them.
courval@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Standing with right wingers never but I’ll quote one on the issue here “how do I reach these kids?..”

Well, pigs will eat anything, and anyone.
They’ll eat their own, in some circumstances, though it’s usually only going to be in bad conditions, or opportunistically. It’s extreme rare to see it happen among feral swine, though it does sometimes occur. But wild pigs will eat any dead critter they run across, even other pigs. It’s more rare that they’ll eat another pig they know. It does happen, but even if you live where the damn ferals are endemic, you might only see evidence of it a handful of times over decades.
So, out of all animals that you’d think of for kid’s stories, a pig is probably the most appropriate pick for a butcher. Maybe a cat or dog (though I think cats would just eat their business out of business, not wanting to share.) would fit.

I heard somewhere that society’s only real jobs are the one you can depict in a children’s book, but I don’t know about this one.

Butcher by day. Loan shark by night. Don’t be late with your payments.

Who’s to say it’s not human?
Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
The pig would say the same thing about humans
D_C@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Which is a bit unfair. I’ve not butchered any pigs, and I’ve only ever eaten one or two humans!!
(My autocorrect switched butchered to buggered above. (Un)Luckily (?) I had time to proofread and catch it before posting.

Watch The Green Butchers.

I always found it funny how Mads Mikkelsen became big in Hollywood movies as a serious actor when most of his work prior (exception being the Pusher movies) had been Danish dark comedies. And "The Green Butchers" is one of those. I remember quoting it quite a bit like "I smoke between 15 and 20 joints a day, I wouldn't even smell it if my hair was on fire".

My favourite part from that one has always been the monologue about how grinding an animal down and putting it inside it’s own asshole is a mythological humiliation humanity has forced upon nature.

Me, a human: Ar-herhm, Uh yes! Chi…iiicken fingers yes! Finger lickin’ good!

Oh, wow, wtf. Oh, wait it’s ginger. That is still deeply disturbing, but not quite so bad as the dirty bandages and scar tissue covered auto-cannibalising amputee that I saw at first glance.

Why? Have you exact same questions about a human running the butcher shop?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean…does your local butcher shop serve human meat?
0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
come over to Hannover Germany shortly after WW1, visit fritz haarmanns butcher shop and buy some meat to find out.
Lembot_0002@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Exactly. Why don’t you assume your local human butcher serve human meat while perfectly assuming that a pig butcher should serve pig meat?

Ducks and chickens aren’t the same animal. They’re both birds, but plenty of birds eat other birds from other species.

Well, I have never seen a duck eating meat, but it is just me, move on.

No no, cops kill minorities, not cops. Not even cops who are from minorities (usually).

“There is no cannibalism in children’s literature! And when I say ‘none,’ I mean there is a certain amount.”
Etterra@discuss.online 1 month ago
I wouldn’t worry about it, animals don’t feel guilt about cannibalism.
