Farmer completely eaten by his hogs


Recommended Posts

This is a serious issue, and it never gets much attention. Many die from hogs ever year. Children can be devoured in minutes. Adult men can be overcome and be victims, as well. Hogs are one of the most dangerous forms of livestock if handled poorly. There is a reason they say do not sit down in a hog pen.

 

On another bit of farming notes; NC raises $73 billion from agriculture a year, 2/3 of that from livestock.

 

PS: anyone here who would think I would not reply to this thread...pfff, yeah. Right.

Out in British Columbia there was a pig farmer who was killing woman (mostly hookers I believe) and he would feed the bodies to the pigs, guess they will eat almost anything

Is it true that Chickens can be just as bad? I thought I had heard somewhere that it can be dangerous if you get hurt in a chicken coup....

I think his name was Robert Pickton.

Or earthworm farms. Very risky. One of the most dangerous jobs in the country...

Hence the expression "as greedy as a pig".

I am unsure 100% about chickens, but from what I have heard and know about them, they'd hurt you if you laid there idle for an hour or so. They are scavengers, and will prove it by whatever they eat.

 

Pigs would have you gone in less then 20 minutes. Cows really won't do much to rip you apart, although I have been bit by a few (once I know was on purpose as I was working it in the chute). Nearly had my leg broken being kicked by one and had to crawl 200 yards in the middle of a summer night. Had my lariet around one and went to unhook it, something spooked the steer (800 lbs.) and it just took off dragging me across the barnlot stepping on me etc. Yeah, those a-holes have really messed me up a few times.

 

And if you've ever seen how they harvest earthworms, it's pretty funny. Go out at night in a field and pick them up.

I thought hogs domesticate down the quickest? Even farm raised hogs can be dangerous? I suppose in great numbers they can be like piranhas! Do they even eat the skeleton/bones?

Farm raised pigs just do not care. When it is time to eat, they'll eat. If there is a bore in there and he is aggressive he will shirley knock you down. You can raise a pig to be a domestic pet, just like you can a dog, but both of them are omnivores.

 

The hogs/pigs/swine will eat some bones, too. Just like alligators, they just pass it through.
