Next stop, the Miracle of Birth Center. Mike’s friend
Ashanka met up with us at this point. As we walked in we noticed a bunch of
people gathered around a display. It was hard to see what they were looking at
but being tall I was able to make out a pig’s head near the glass wall of the
pen. Ashanka, being shorter, asked what it was. When I told her it was a pig,
she put her hand up to her mouth and asked, “Are they roasting it?” In horror
she ran off not even waiting for an answer. Mike retrieved her and we assured
her the pig was not being roasted. The sow’s piglets were sleeping next to her.
They were all under incubator lights, so we could see why Ashanka made the
assumption of a pig roast. Had that actually been the case though, I’d have to
say that would be a pretty sick display for the Miracle of Birth Center!
Anyway, the little piggies started waking up and began to nurse. They were
incredibly darling.
