###Why it's probably better not to eat the pig

Why it's probably better not to eat the pig

If I do not eat the pig, it may be eaten by other humans who would normally buy farmed meat, thus reducing demand for such meat.

If not, it may be eaten by other animals (carnivores) whose interests I consider important as a vegan (animal ally?).

If that's not the case, it may be decomposed by micro-organisms which return nutrients to the soil.
