All for the purpose of this traditional religious ritual of the Hakka people of Taiwan, a culture that makes up about 15% of the island's population.
And this is news why? Who gives a fuck? Go enjoy your ham sandwich and stop trying to protray this as bad. If you actually care, go vegan, or shut the fuck up.

Now I know you're trying to just report interesting news, so I'll give you that. But don't try and add some boo hoo woe is the pig angle on it, while none of you actually give a shit.
