My friend and I were discussing about animals in their farm. They breed and raise pigs One pig he named Betsy, a very suitable name for a pig.
He happened to like Betsy a lot and we started discussing names of our pets.
I named my cat, Lucy. He named his cat Lucifer. Luci for short. He loves his cat and he is going back to the farm to bring Luci to the city.
Then I returned to Betsy and asked him since he named one of the pigs, is Betsy his pet?
Heck, no! He exclaimed. Betsy became an offering to the gods.
One fellow blogger has a rule about naming names:
We have a rule in my house. If you name it, you can’t eat it. So far I haven’t named any tomatoes. – Kate Crimmins

i agree Hows it possible to kill a pet u gave a name? we have in the Netherlands a Xmass add abt a rabbit. His name was Flappy ( kids pet) his cage was empty when kids got home and for dinner??? YES rabbit.
I feel negativ goosebumps NOT DONE
MJ, it shouldn’t be done at all, poor kids, they are now scared for life!
Good grief! I could never eat a pig I named!
Then your animals are safe with you!
Guess I better not name an apple since I enjoy them huh! 😄
Just call them fruit, then eat them with gusto!
But a fruit is a name? Or is it? lol
I give up 😛
Hahahaha- Evelyn
Do you remember naming our chickens back home?
Oh dear, the second picture is hard to look at after looking at the first.
It does, doesn’t it. Poor little piggy got lost in it’s way home.
That’s a damned fine rule. I knew a guy who grew up in 4-H, raising farm animals and showing them at fairs. He described how the freezer at home was crammed full of plastic-wrapped hunks of meat with each animal’s name on them–Potsie, Annabelle, George.. (shudder)
Sorry, I have to laugh. True, true, true.
