“The pigs were treated like the nazi’s were treated by Hitler,” Mel observed. The boys killed pigs in an astounding way. The boys are chanting,"Kill the pig! Cut her throat! Spill her blood!"

One of the pigs they slaughtered was pregnant. Without any remorse the boys killed it. No sympathy was put into the fact that the pigs are living creatures. The pigs were dehumanized just as the jews were dehumanized by Hitler.
