I noticed a spider's web on the fence of the pig's pen the other morning. I wondered what I would do if one day I came out and saw the words "some pig" scrolled out instead of the geometric designs. I wondered if something like that would save the pig when he got too fat. Little did I know that his numbered days were quickly coming to a close. Two days later they took my pig out of his pen and turned him into pounds of ham and bacon. I was out in the field weeding away when they came for him. He tried to run but it was three against one and eventually they got him. All the other animals were upset, all of them knew what was happening, most of all the pig. I could hear him screaming up until the very end and I nearly threw up in the hay. So now I'll never know if a little arachnid propaganda could have saved him but I doubt anything could have that day.
