Jessica Simpson won't eat buffalo wings, because buffalo are extinct.
Pet pigs have more animal hero awards than any other creature, for saving human lives from fires and drowning.
Some pig!

Yes, I'll take some, with a little mustard.

Eating a pig is one thing, but eating a dog is just vile-a dog is man's oldest friend, companion, protector and sentry, his companion in the hunt and in battle, comforter in sorrow, comrade in joy.
A dog will face death for you-can you say the same?

yes, any animal that does a job for human beings should not be subject to eating. that job can be anything from pulling a wagon to sniffing for bombs. also, any circus-performing animal should be exempt

Pigs are legendary truffle-sniffers. Do they get an exemption?

*Pigs everywhere hold their breath*

The ones that sniff out truffles are highly prized, and not eaten.
But other piggies are not so fortunate.
And now some markets are selling guinea pig meat!
O tempores, O mores, oh,felgecarb!

mmm... tiny little bacon...

The cavy was originally a food animal, sort of like the Andean equivalent of a chicken.
Next thing, you cruel sods will want hamster and cheese sandwiches!
(btw, the Golden Hamster, that popular pet, was only once observed in the wild, all the pet hamsters stem from a single litter collected in Anatolia in 1912.
A National Geographic expedition to the Gobi returned with the gerbil, that delightful Mongolian mousie.
And the white rat is native to Philadelphia, being discovered in a sewer repair project around the turn of the century, and adopted as an experimental animal at the Franklin Institute.
White mice are recorded in ancient Greece, where they were kept in temples-people kissed them to cure headache.
So there!)

When the British first began to explore Africa, young monkeys were often captured to provide entertainment during long voyages. Some were later transferred to domestic zoos, and in fact many modern captive monkeys in the UK are descended from individuals captured during the Napoleonic and Victorian eras. According to legend, one of the early British captive monkeys was lost at sea and washed up ashore near Hartlepool, England, where it was mistaken for a Frenchman and hanged.[citation needed] The people of Hartlepool have since borne the nickname "monkey hangers."

They were no the first to mistake Frenchmen for monkeys, nor the last.
It really makes the monkeys angry!

Guinea Pigs, Monkeys, Frenchmen ...just sounds like a mixed grill to me.

Or a secret society.

Like that Davey Jones thing in Pirates, a seafood platter gone wrong?
Remind you of anyone we know?
