According to the Chinese calendar, we have just entered the year of the pig. Let's hope that this year people recognise the connection between the cute pig cartoon images they see celebrating New Year and the reality of the horrors suffered by the millions of pigs bred, raised and killed every year in Australia for food. Let's hope they stop eating pigs. Let's hope they stop consuming all animal products. Let's hope they educate others. For more on pigs in the Australian animal industries, see AussiePigs, Dominion and Lucent.
