Guinea Bissau: The bloody slaughter

Pedro, one of the people working for the Portuguese military in Bissau, had a pig to sell. Rui had a store selling meat. Both reached an agreement and it was time to transform the pig into pork!!

We headed to Pedro's house in Bissau, where the pig was tied outside, happily together with the family.


A corn and some violence convinced the pig to get inside the jeep. The pig screamed, but its destiny was decided.



With several people on top, the pig didn't survive a big knife in its throat and it didn't take long to get it clean.

The rest, the rest is pork. Pork and boiled blood, traditional Portuguese style in Bissau.
