Every second household in Serbian countryside keeps pigs. The majority of Serbian pigs lives and dies in cruel conditions; less than one third are slaughtered in slaughterhouses, and the other two thirds get slaughtered by the “slayers” (“professional slaughterers” also known as “pig’s orthopaedists”) in village courtyards, livestock markets, at sides of roads, at fairs and carnivals. The implementation of the new Animal welfare and Food safety laws foretells the radical change of lifestyle of Serbian pigs. Through scientific and traditional aspects of the story of pig welfare, we are observing the Serbian countryside, the conditions in agriculture, and the inevitable change in Serbian society instigated by the desire for integration into EU.
