: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, time to kill the pigs. I always hate this part. But there was no choice. They were the right size and I finished them on barley, corn and molasses as well as strawberries and melons that Safeway was going to throw out. It was just time. And before anyone makes a stupid comment about why I am smiling, it was a social event. Once I had actually shot the pig (the part I hate), it was not too bad. A crew came over and we got them both done. Both pigs died instantly. They lived good lives. And now their bodies will help sustain my life. The lives of my children and the families of the people in these pictures. Thank you pigs.
