We are talking about torturing a pig, killing is really no big deal -- everything dies but not everything suffers.

As for what constitutes torture is arguable. To me, doing surgery with anesthesia don’t automatically fall into that category (though of course it can — eg. the famous experiment of putting a second dog’s head to another one’s torso was torture in my opinion).

I think a pig being killed would dissagree.
