It鈥檚 time to slaughter Little Pig, but the trauma of Big Pig is still fresh in Jacqueline鈥檚 mind. Read by Imogen Stubbs.

With Christmas round the corner and guests arriving soon, the time has come to slaughter Little Pig.

But the trauma of despatching Big Pig is still fresh...

Jacqueline Yallop has moved to south-west France with her husband and embraced rural village life.

Her memoir is a love story exploring her increasing attachment to her pigs as well as the ethics of meat eating in the modern age.

Should we know, respect and even love the animals we eat?
