One fine day on the sunny farm island, the pig was walking along the narrow road when it brushed past a dog that was also walking on the same road. The dog took offence and glared at the pig, before carry on his way. The pig, being glared at, became perplexed and vexed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Therefore, upon reaching his pig sty, the pig wrote on his microblog:
The most irritating thing that can happen was getting glares from old dogs that you accidentally brush past. What a dog! =/
Little did the pig expect such a big outcry from the other farm animals, especially from the dogs.
Dog A: What! He called us dogs?? Someone who is getting the biggest share of food from the farmer is complaining about us being dogs! How dare he!
Dog B: What an ingrate. We shouldn’t have allowed the farmer to give the pigs so much food to eat! Now they are big and fat, and bullying us all over!
Dog C: Shame on the pigs. Shame on the pigs!!! Burn them on the barbeque. BURN THEM ALL!!!
Dog D: The pigs get all the food they want without working for it. We still have to serve as guard dogs for 2 years, only to get so little food from the farmer. Injustice!
Dog E: The farmer is importing too many foreign animals into the farm. This has to be stopped. (Sign petition on the link here)
As a result, the animals were debating on the Farmbook over how this matter should be handled. The supervising officer of the pig sty, the Orange Lion, tried to appease the animals by assuring that disciplinary action will be taken against the pig in question. Another pig (whose intention to make his point or sabotage his fellow pig was unknown) made the following comment: Aiya, he is the Top Pig of the sty. The lion will not dare to touch him one…
Meanwhile, the horse who lives in the stables on the eastern side of the farm, gave his take on the incident:
I agree that the pig was very rude and arrogant on his comments to the dogs, but perhaps we can learn something out of it and reflect upon ourselves on what the pig has said, rightly or wrongly. I am sure that the Orange Lion will take necessary steps to prevent such an incident from happening again…
Which drew even more responses:
Dog G: Stupid horse. What do you know about our lives? You get to live in a nice stable with plenty of straw to eat. You get plenty of exercise when the farmer brings you out for a ride. How dare you imply that what the pig said was right???
Dog H: Another ingrate horse. Defending the pigs instead of speaking out for us, the ones who are working out guts out to feed you horses!!! Cut the straw! Cut the straw!
Dog I: Sigh. Why is it so hard to find a dog that is rational and cool-headed these days… *facepaw*
The pig involved, sensing the gravity of the situation, posted an apology on his microblog hoping to alleviate the situation. And so the matter ends for now. Or so it seems.

In the farmhouse at the centre of the farm island, the farmer can be seen sharpening his cleaver (of a very famous brand name called GDP), preparing for his next batch of slaughter.
