Piggy Goes to Uni is a captivating tale that follows the journey of a young pig named Piggy as he embarks on a transformative adventure to Central State University. As he leaves his rural community behind, Piggy discovers the dark and oppressive legacy of Pig-Imperialism, a system that perpetuates violence and discrimination against pigs. At Central State, he is awakened to the power of words and ideas, realizing that they can be just as destructive as physical acts of genocide. Determined to become a hero of the oppressed, Piggy aligns himself with the Anti-Piggest socialist Justice Movement. With the support of his comrades, he vows to ban any statement that may cause harm to others' feelings, creating a world of absolute kindness and tolerance. However, as Piggy's rhetoric becomes more extreme, he inadvertently finds himself trapped in his own ideology, unable to escape the consequences of his own words.

This story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, understanding, and the delicate balance between kindness and extremism. It highlights the dangers of creating a world where one group is marginalized and oppressed, as it can lead to the perpetuation of harmful beliefs and practices. Piggy Goes to Uni encourages us to be mindful of the words we use and the impact they have on others, and to strive for a society that is inclusive, compassionate, and respectful of all individuals.
