Once when I was a kid we had a couple pigs here, at some point they were to be butchered.. the guy came in and shot one... It didn't die fast or quietly...
That seriously traumatized my young mind... and to this day I don't eat pig meat, and its only recently I've been able to force myself to be around people eating pig meat without getting utterly pissed off and storming out of the area.
