Porcine Puns and Piggy Whimsy

It’s been such a pleasure to read your responses to my blog from last Friday, when I asked you to suggest a caption for this picture of a pig and her piglet. Your submissions echoed The HSUS’s philosophy that all animals, including the wonderful pig, deserve humane treatment. As I say in a story in today’s New York Times about the battle over California’s Proposition 2, the least we can do for these animals is treat them with decency and give them a semblance of life.
It was a tough task, but I’ve narrowed it down to ten favorites from your caption suggestions. I hope you enjoy them, and thanks to all of you who shared your passion and creativity.
