The Pig War?  The Pig War came on June 15, 1859, when an American farmer gunned down a British-owned black boar after he discovered the animal rooting through his potato patch. The ensuing argument over the dead hog increased tensions between the two groups of settlers....etc |

Fast forward to this day and age in Basel, where Islamic groups are demanding that Switzerland gets rid of this below:  The Pig War link reminded me of this. |

Silly sensitivity, much alike banning Porky Pig cartoons, The Three Little Pigs and any works with swine or porcines in them in certain countries. What if it was a cow tram, would Hindus be offended? Would there be a Vegan uprise? What's offensive about it?

Have you ever seen a mob in India and how quick it arises..... i would hate to be the one driving the tram. the indian mutiny started just with a rumor of beef fat on the cartridges.  |
