Bulgarian farmer family clean a burned pig during a traditional pig slaughter in the village of Chernozemen east of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, Friday, Nov. 11, 2011. The pig slaughter is a very long tradition in the Balkan country, that enables thousands of households to ensure meat and meat products over the winter for the families. Usually the pig was fattened up for a year from January to November or December and then the pig had to be killed on a cold day to ensure the best conservation of the meat.По стар народен обичай жителите на село Черноземен, пловдивско организираха традиционно клане на прасе. Обикновенно клането се извршва от средата на месец ноември до проследните дни на декември когато температурите паднат, за да се запази по добре месото, след края на ритуала собственика на прасето организира почерпка за съседите и хората, които са помагали.
