I agree. Seems like the best way to honor the little guy. Use every part.

Now if the piggy has 2 kidneys and gives one up and can still live a good piggy life then I would wait until the last kidney is needed, then it’s supper time.

that’s true. That’s gotta be a money making enterprise because you have no waste. Grow pigs for organs, slaughter when done, sell the pork.
