One Good Reason Not To Raise Pigs

Terry Vance Garner, 69, never returned after he set out to feed his animals last Wednesday on his farm near the Oregon coast.

A family member found Mr Garner's dentures and pieces of his body in the hog enclosure several hours later, but most of his remains had been consumed. Several of the pigs weighed 318 kilograms or more.

It's possible Mr Garner had a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, or was knocked over by the animals, then killed and eaten, the Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said, adding that at least one pig had previously bitten Mr Garner.

Fewer American farmers have been killed by their own hog, than Israeli soldiers have been killed by their own platoon members during horseplay with weapons. And we have 50 times your population.

I understand that you spent most of your life being a political hack, but the fact is you live quite close to lots of Israeli farmers. Why don't you ask them how much caution they need to exercise when walking near the rear legs of a dairy cow?
