Free Pigia

Kathy Shaidle posted earlier

"...some British schools have also removed or restricted the following 'anti-Muslim' children's books... The Three Little Pigs, Charlottes Web, Babe:The Sheep-pig, Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, Olivia Saves the Circus, Animal Farm."

And then started the FREE PIGLET campaign asking that people show us their pig. We have to work now to end this swinephobia now. Now some people think pigs have what's coming to them after reading Animal Farm or their unfortunate association with the name of government largess taints us.

First they came for Elmer Fudd, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't an Elmer Fudd fan and I preferred Bugs. Then they came for the three little pigs, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a member of their household. Then they came for Piglet, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't part of the Pooh union. Then they came for Miss Piggy, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Muppet. Then they came for me...By that time there was no one to speak up for anyone.
