Mora matanza

This is a picture of the Garcia family pig mantanza in the summer of 2006. This is a very important tradition, so we know a little about what happens and the process of killing a pig. Matanza’s were very important back before there was refrigeration. A whole animal would spoil so the matanza would have a community share in using the meat.pig.jpg
