Here is a pic of the pig slaughter that I participated in. I can't really say that I "participated" per se, but I watched and that was enough for me. The first pig took 7 blows to the head to knock it out. I guess Vannie was working on his aim, but that poor pig squealed like any pig would having been knocked on the head repeatedly. We began at 8:30 pm and 7 pigs later the job was done. By 3am i drove the pig-gut stained co-workers back to Monrovia where the meat was sold. This was all part of a project linked with the Rainbow Town Orphanage in an effort to help them become self-sustainable.
After that night, I seriously considered becoming a vegetarian again.
