Pigs is Pigs by Ellis Parker Butler is an American short story commenting on capitalism. Railway agent Mike Flannery wants to charge the livestock rate for a shipment of two guinea pigs and refuses to accept the lower pet rate, saying "pigs is pigs". Flannery believes that the "guinea" is an indication of the pigs' national origin. Flannery is forced to feed and house what he now calls the "dago pigs" in his office until he receives permission from his superiors to return the pigs to the company warehouse. Entertaining hijinks ensue.
