Meet Fredo the Pig
Is he destined for a life of leisure? Or a piggy-roast?
Bacon! …. To Be … or Not To Be.
So a friend said to me … “Know anybody who wants to buy a piglet?”
I thought, “No, nobody I can think of.” … Then an idea hit me.
This cute little bacon seed would grow to make a fine hog and we could do one heck of a pig roast and donate some of the money to the Sons of Italy scholarship fund!
Besides, who doesn’t like a pig-roast (except maybe Fredo!)
Fredo’s fate will be determined by the public at large with an online auction that will last from the time he is born until he is of prime “roasting” age.
The auction will have one of two outcomes:
FREE FREDO
Fredo will capture the hearts of nice people everywhere and they will donate to ensure that Fredo goes to live at a petting zoo, Gentleman’s farm, or other such accommodation … or
FRY FREDO
Fredo is raised on a good, healthy, organic farm then taken out back of the shed “old-Yeller-style” and turned into cutlets, pork-chops, lil’smokies, and Vienna sausages. Cycle of life folks, cycle of life.
Fredo’s Fate
When we met Fredo we believed that his innate cuteness could be a great tool to capture hearts and minds and to bring awareness to how animals are treated in a modern industrialized production setting and to try and unravel the ethical dilemma between our desire for bacon and the harsh reality of the meat processing industry.
Remember, piglets are creatures who feel pain and misery the same as we do. This in no way changes the fact that crunchy piggy-bits are a time-honored favorite world-wide. Fredo may have an up-hill battle to survive.
Although many (if not most) piglets will go to the table, perhaps Fredo deserves a full piggy life at a petting zoo.
What will happen if we let the people decide the fate of one little pig?
