Anecdote:
Girl Raised By Pigs
United Press International reported some time ago that a nine-year-old girl was raised by farmyard pigs in the Chinese province of Liaoning. The girl had been suckled and raised from infancy by a peasant family's pigs because her disabled parents could not care for her.
Like the Chinese version of Believe It or Not the report indicated that the severely deprived child is now being taught to abandon pig-like behaviour in favor of acting human. Her counsellors said that the child had learned to crawl like a pig and imitate other piggish actions. She displayed fluctuating emotions and tended to want to live in solitude.
There is something worse than a nine-year-old child who behaves like a pig. It is a child of God who thinks and acts like an unbeliever!
