OMG my friend! Pigs, pigs and more pigs. Another one of your interesting posts that is chocked full of information that I didn't know. It is always a learning experience with you and I love that! I stopped eating pork many, many years ago and after reading this, I am so glad that I did. This is another reason why there are so many vegetarians now. Ticks and vampire bats are the worst for spreading diseases. The numbers in this post are staggering and look at all of the harm that we have done to our beautiful planet and all of nature. So sad. This brought me back to another childhood memory. My parents took me and my brother on vacation when I was 9 years old and it was my first experience of seeing a boar. I thought it was the ugliest creature I had ever seen. Thankfully, it was only the head mounted on a wall. The place we stayed at was called...are you ready for this...Boar's Head Inn. I also remember going to a pond located at the Inn and catching frogs all day long in the hot sun. I drank cold water real fast and the world around me was spinning, and I couldn't stand up. The doc said that I had heat stroke. I was so sick. Now back to your post. What a great job you did with your extra accent pictures. It was very pleasing to my eyes. The only thing that is missing is at least one photo taken by you. LOL! And look at all of your sources. I am in awe!!! I can;t imagine how many hours you put in but what I do know is that you are dedicated to sharing nothing but the best!
Thank you so much for you gift to support my butterfly contest. It sure was a pleasant surprise and I am grateful. Hugs! I am looking forward to more of your photos! : )
