MERISSA UNDERWOOD
It was something about their noses. Light pink and velvety soft to the touch. The pigs sniffed at the straw on the hot cement ground and gazed through the bars of their pens. I was attending my first county fair as a member of my high school s Future Farmers of America (FFA) program.
When I joined, I was told FFA is for those who love animals! In reality, FFA is designed to desensitize the next generation by exploiting the vulnerable for profit.
I was known as the weird horse girl my entire life. In elementary school, at recess, my friends and I would set up sticks as jumps and canter around the track.
