Dutch Discussion
On TV, I heard a discussion of Dutch politicians about the introduction of mega pig barns. Big is beautiful. Barns will be the jewels of the landscape. I thought they were debating politics, politicians and parliamentarians. No way. They discussed the housing of pigs. Right, the housing of pigs!!! As far as I know, pigs do not know anything of housing - loving the mud, the rain and the fresh air. And again for a moment, I thought the politicians were talking about politics and politicians. No way. They just share the letter p, pigs and politicians, isn't it? And I forgot the p of the word of prison of pigs. So, the debate was about the average income of the pig keeper and not about the life of a pig. If pigs love the mud outside, why do we build barns? If we let them free, the pigs will cost more, their body will become more expensive. The price of pig products will rise, the numbers of pigs will decrease and the consumption of their meat will become more exclusive. Only once in a year, pig will be on the menu. On top of it, we don't need to construct barns. We save a lot of money. And people will be more healthy. The cost of healthcare will decrease. At the end of the day, pigs will be happy and healthy, apart from the real pigs, who only calculate?
