PIGS “GO TO MARKET”
• [To the Editor] Sir, —I am so pleased—so is my pal—because we had the wind up properly when we were told we were not going to be sploshed with dirty grease all over and chased and mauled about and hurt like blazes by a whole lot of nasty people at a thing they called a Fair, though unfair would be better. We wonder how some of those who thought of this Nazi entertainment would have liked to play the part we were going to be made to play. As for us, even though we are only little pigs we can’t he’p thinking that if it had come off it would have been just like the bearbaiting of long ago, only there would have been no danger to those who chased us because we are pacifists. That may be a bit rude, but evidently humans think the end justifies the means Please, Mr Editor, will you find out if any one intervened (good word for a piglet to excogitate) to stop this cruel and humiliating entertainment, and if so to thank her or him in the name of THE TWO PIGS CONCERNED. Nelson, 9th Dec.
