Portugal was fucking amazing for me.

As an apathetic Yank, it was mind blowing how beautiful the buildings,countryside,women and food were. Super polite but no nonsense people.

The history is overwhelming.

I cannot wait to go back.

Yes, you're the only one. Many cultures around the world celebrate the start of the harvest season and the slaughter of animals they've captured with singing and dancing to thank and honor the gods or nature spirits. I am disturbed more by American hunters who kill wildlife for sport, and pose for pictures with the murdered animals.

It's like going to Chuck E Cheese...except there's a gallon of blood involved.

@akichan42 Pig slaughter isn't forbidden since the meat be only for domestic consumption.

I remember pig slaughter at Alentejo - what they showed in the video is just a part of the process. As a little girl, I would run back home and cover my head with pillows just to not listen to the cries of the pig, which are fucking high, you could hear it anywhere in the village. Now pig slaughter is forbidden due to health issues and people have to take the pig to the nearest slaughter house.

@MyJawLine oO you must be one of thhose who think chicken already come in plastic, and dont have feathers and shit lol,

The pig does not die quietly, or quickly. I understand: delicate American sensibilities must be considered. We attack people with Predator drones, and our newspapers tell us only the right ones die, and we are content to believe what they say. But show the actual slaughter of a pig, no, we can't subject people to that.

how do you eat meat without killing the animal?how do you eat fish without killing the fish? i dont understand the controversial of the pig slaughter.

@MyJawLine Yup, it´s Portugues for the Spanish "carajo"... pretty much "Oh shit"

@CmcHellraiser Claro que o que os olhos não vêem o coração não sente, é muito fácil olhar para meia dúzia de fêveras no talho, tal como diz o Tony, é apenas um ingrediente! Mas é bom saber de onde a comida vem para dar-mos valor à mesma e ao trabalho que dela advém. Quando tiver filhos, eles vão saber isso, pois me encarregarei de lhes mostrar esta tradição! E é preciso ter orgulho de ser Português, pois temos uma das melhores cozinhas do mundo! E a nível de carnes e peixe é mesmo a melhor!

É incrível, a dita "matança do porco" será assim tão escandalosa?! Cresci à volta dela, já participei em muitas, alias todos os anos se repete em casa dos meus pais, na qual participo com todo o gosto! E para todos os que já participaram e conhecem do que falo, sabem que existe muito mais respeito pelo animal do que o que existe num matadouro, onde o animal é morto com choque eléctrico, e a pele é-lhe retirada em agua a ferver!
