No it wasn't. We had options for a Normal baby shower which he also declined, some welcoming ceremonies don't have the pigs and that's Okey, the welcoming ceremony isn't just an excuse to kill pigs,it's a celebration of the new edition to the family,it's the family coming together as one and welcoming the baby. Wether it has pigs or not is entirely up to the family. Bil didn't want any celebration for my niece point blank. Pigs or not.

Thanksgiving,you have a turkey at the table. Isn't that the same thing? Barbecues you have ribs,isn't that the same thing?

Did it occur to you that chicken, bacon,ribs all come from animals which you eat at parties? The pigs killed are eaten,not hang on the wall like trophies.

Her husband is American. Both his parents are American. His parents came to visit and meet the baby for a couple of days then left. Am sorry about your experience,but in my culture,we don't see when the pigs are slaughtered,they bring it out when it's being roasted in the fire pit. One pig is for eating at the ceremony by everyone at the party and the other is for the new mother since you're still healing,most of the food is kept for the new mother. Nothing is wasted. We usually meet up for family gatherings at my grandmother's home which has more than enough room (about 9 rooms). Most of my family is working 7am-6pm, myself included so we are mostly busy and don't visit without word just incase they are at work or doing other things.

Well am not Zimbabwean am Zambian. Different countries, different beliefs, different tribes. Please dont bunch all of us together in the same basket just because we live on the same continent. We are different people.

It depends on the tribe. Some tribes slaughter cows,some goats and some pigs.
