Crossword 302: Animal Trailers

Ralph Hedley, The Market Wagon
Ralph Hedley, The Market Wagon

Are you feeling sad again, depressive solver?  Is your advice ignored?  Are your merits unrecognized?  Is all your love in vain?  I remember feeling that way myself once, years ago, before I became a fabulously successful, universally adored crossword constructor.  In particular I remember one day, when I was driving sorrowfully down a rural highway, barely holding back the tears of self-pity, I happened to pass an enormous trailer full of pigs, crammed ruthlessly together, hopelessly confused, mortally terrified—with good reason, as they were headed, no doubt, to the slaughterhouse—and I thought, what do I have to complain about?  Today’s puzzle is a memento of that moment of insight.  Stop whining and solve it.
