Hayden: The piggery was basically a shack with concrete walls separating the pigs; it smelled pretty nasty. The people who worked there were mostly Hawaiian guys but there were 2 ladies there, too. The process of butchering the pig was really long they had to shoot it, shave it, blow torch it, then take out all the guts which took about an hour. What suprised me the most was that they used a blow torch in the cleaning of it. To get ready for a luau is pretty hard work, there is lots of preperation involved. To use the imu (underground oven) you have to heat lava rocks and get ti leaves and you have to put them inside the pig then cover the imu with the pig inside and let it cook for a while. I would hate to work at a piggery because its too much work.
Hannah: Today you would think I would want to be a vegetarian, but I would never make it, especially in Hawaii. We 
went to a pig farm and watched them kill a pig for an imu (underground oven). Of course I did not watch them because it is mean, but they gave us a tour and we saw little piglets that came up to us and sniffed our hands (sooo cute). We also saw them cleaning the pig which means shaving off the hair and blow torching the ears. Then they put boiled water over to it and it stunk. Then we left and helped fold napkins for the luau on Saturday. They are making shredded pork in the imu from the 3 pigs that sadly passed away today. Then we went to this “hole in the wall” sandwich restaurant it was really good. Then we went back helped set up chairs for over a thousand people and went across the street to get the famous shaved ice (which wasn’t the best but it was still good). Then after spending all day at the imu we came home and found out we smelled like smoke!
Sam: (Note from editor: entry composed under duress.) The piggery looked like a barn. I don’t know who worked there. They kill and clean the pigs. First you kill it, then you shave it then you take out it’s guts than you put it on a cart. The grossest part was when they showed us the brain. The piggery stinks SOOOOOOOO bad! Preparing for a luau is busy and tedious, you have to set up tables and forks and knives. An imu is just an underground oven, where you put your food.
