I’m just guessing but I suspect that the artist felt that it dominated the painting. Personally I like it better without the pig.

"It's this grotesque scene, this butchered animal hanging in a barn......"

I don't consider it to be a "grotesque scene" at all! Daily life with abundant food isn't grotesque. What I find odd is the head like object to the left of the ladder on the floor. Any ideas as to what it is?

Thanks Daffynition. Obviously this discovery is another right-wing Christian attempt to offend Moslems. ;') ;') ;')
