This being Romania, that's unlikely to present much of a problem. I mean it's hard to have a big gathering of people at which a pig dies (given the fact that they don't tend to die queitly) without the village policeman knowing. So, I'm guessing they (the police) will gets lots of invites and a fridge full of sausages and other pig related delicacies.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294221123964774524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-1137001686977167092006-01-11T19:48:00.000+02:002006-01-11T19:48:00.000+02:00I asked my wife's relatives in Arges about the end...I asked my wife's relatives in Arges about the end of the pig killing under these new EU regulations and they took a pleasingly French attitude towards it all. "I'd like to see the bastards try" being the gist of their response. That said, their (by now late) piggies both had eartags and I assume that there will be some sort of registry and requirement that people explain how their pigs met their ends. I foresee a combination of a healthy black market in abbatoir certificates and a spate of reported attacks by wolves and bears, with predominantly porcine victims.<BR/><BR/>And as I said, the pig killing I was at (over ten years ago now, it's quite frightening to realise) was terrific fun, even though I realise I don;t have as many scruples in that direction as you do.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're all well (Sylvia stood up unaided for the first time last night)<BR/><BR/>Richard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-1136929993562406602006-01-10T23:53:00.000+02:002006-01-10T23:53:00.000+02:00Once in a while the pigs get their revenge...http:...Once in a while the pigs get their revenge...<BR/>http://www.huumor.com/joke_3057<BR/>It's a true story, although it's a bit off I suppose, it being on a humour site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-1136836260580768222006-01-09T21:51:00.000+02:002006-01-09T21:51:00.000+02:00ahhh ... do you feel that? the 25 C tropical bree...ahhh ... do you feel that? the 25 C tropical breezes in Texas?
