      That’s a different definition of “serve”.
      Pigs aren’t trained to do tasks then slaughtered if they fail.
      They’re bred specifically for slaughter and then killed when they reach prime weight.

      A “life on the farm” story doesn’t convey an implied threat of if you cause me problems you may get shot in the head like this does.

          Sure but that’s a separate convo.

            It’s fair to say this person is much more deranged than the average meat defender, but the core issue of animal slaughter remains in this instance and in meat consumption. An animal’s life was cut short because a human decided they wanted to do that

        it would if the children in the metaphor see the family livestock being treated by their parents the way industrial dairy and beef cattle are typically abused instead of some homestead fantasy
