Meet "Pig," a collaborative project by Sophie Powell and Bonnie Moriarty comprised of a life-sized piglet made with bacon and sausages. The pork sculpture is an edible reminder of pigs' plight, according to the pair: "[They] are born into this world entirely to be eaten. Even when free range, they are trapped by their original purpose."
What do you think about Powell and Moriarty's "Pig" project? Has it inspired you to eat fewer animal products?

After raising a potbellied pig 10 years ago as a companion animal, I have NOT touched "decomposing pig flesh"!!!
Pigs are way too amazing to eat.
