Keep in mind; this was the only spontaneous recording on the entire album (excluding the woodwinds in Hair Pie: Bake One). So what was the Captain thinking of at that time? Was it a lack of food? A lack of money? Memories?
It could be his way of expressing his grievance towards human being killing things they love so they can keep their own lives going.
I've also interpreted it as, like, a ceramic piggy bank being broken for reasons of survival.
Regardless of it's intentional meaning, there's that regretful, skeptical refrain, "I DON'T wanna kill...my china pig."
