Life too helpless, too tender, too easy to snuff

Oct 28
Dear Luis:

As a fan and promoter of La Rioja Restaurant, your latest culinary offering "Suckling Pig Segovia Style" is a matter of concern.  In my opinion, eating infant animals barely awakened to life traspasses the boundaries of good taste. Many an enthusiastic meat eater stops short of eating veal and others creatures yanked from the mother's teat to be slaughtered, simply because the imagery revolts. Even hunters spare the young. The fact that intensive confinement has created such a surpluss of animals raised to be devoured that consuming their young makes economic sense, cheapens life too much for my taste.

Pigs are smarter than dogs, as smart as 4 year old children when allowed to life that long, and more pleasant, amusing, and cleaner than many people we know.

Noblesse oblige, my dear Luis, to spare life too helpless, too tender, too easy to snuff. Would it be your choice to attract the curious and the unscrupulous and the dulled by gluttony at the expense of a more refined, reliable clientele that could easily be turned off by suckling (suckling! mind you) pig?

I hope not. Warm regards. -- Dolores
