"There is no cannibalism in children's literature! And when I say 'none,' I mean there is a certain amount."

I wouldn't worry about it, animals don't feel guilt about cannibalism.

Nazi pig: "Those pigs weren't real pigs, they're vermin that should all be butchered."

What about Donald Duck? He’s eating a chicken.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Ducks are omnivores. When they stick their heads underwater, they're trying to catch prey like small fish.

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

Who’s to say it’s not human?

Possible patron at my market stall:

No worries, it's all kosher

I have this same thought every time I see the Gin Gins mascot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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.

Pig is ikizukuri.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

He really loves his job.

Well it's only fair!

Like humans, pigs eat (relatively) anything

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The pig would say the same thing about humans

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks 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.

What is that from? I think I had this one.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure all those cuts are human so this is perfectly normal.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

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.

God that's good!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

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