The Early Learning Centre has banned a toy pig from a farmyard set for fear of offending Muslims and Jews.



Had the world gone mad?

God almighty said ''Don't eat pork.'

Didn't say don't allow pigs anywhere in your life.

I find it quite naive.

I read somewhere that ,pigs and us humans , sharing the common genetic material.

So,I think that means; eating pork is like eating flesh!

So complicated ,eh?

Apparently India now wants the Cows removed and the Animal Liberation Front want the Sheep Ducks and Chickens removed.



Next years Farmyard Set will show an Eco Farmer and his multi-racial family producing GM free Lentils!

You certainly do Graham. I heard a new law is coming out that will prevent you from calling the Police - Pigs.

I had an uncle many years ago who had problems with the valves in his heart.He underwent major open heart surgery and had these defective valves replaced with the valves from the heart of a pig.The operation gave him another 15 years of quality life.

How can any single person be so offended by the existence of this animal?



It is one of God's creatures and it's creation gave my uncle a new lease of life.

Guess someone's out to 'am-bush' our way of life. The sooner those ludicrous quangos in charge of of 'elf & safety' get the push from the Coalition, the better. What a pig's ear they've made of it all.

Jimbo before I came here I worked for a national charity that dealth with organ donations. Pigs espicially kidneys were discovered to be so close to humans. Many were used and very successfull to this day. I know I detract from the question but PC has gone mad if now animals are included. hope your relative has a long and happy lifex
