January 23, 2007: Two thousand sacrificed pigs
gmr2048 points to this recently-uploaded Flickr set, which is labeled with nothing other than 2000 pigs as sacrifice and offerring to the deity General Chao of Wudeh temple at a temple festival in Jendeh, southern Taiwan, 19 Jan 2007, and I hereby fairly use the first shot of them knowing that you'll probably be tempted to click through to the rest of the set.

I'll leave the obligatory "I wonder how they taste" cracks for others.
It looks like they're all bowing, prostrating themselves, doesn't it?

What a waste.
Edit: It looks like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is playing the festival/sacrifice.

I know I should be horrified at the waste (I assume they are not eaten afterwards? extensive Googling tells me no more about this) but some of the pictures had me laughing out loud.
In fact if avatars were allowed on this site I think mine would be one of an apparently cheerful dead pig, smiling even though he is split from stem to stern and with a gaudy flag flapping about his head....

*General*? There's a deity which holds a military commission?

Perhaps they mean "non-specific".

Apparently Jendeh is Persian for Whore.

I believe the movie version that will tell this story shall be titled "Watch On The Rind".
