Huh, interdasting. This did not happen in Florida.

I nearly cried.

And I would have paid extra for bacon from the pig that ate you.

Would you serve it with fava beans and a nice Chianti, or does it not count if there was one extra animal in the food chain?

I was thinking more on top of a burger, or perhaps a pizza.

Deadly Hungry Hungarian Pig Attack

A 210lb (95kg) pig in Kerkakutas, Hungary, bit its owner to death on 11 August when he tried to separate it from its food for a health check in its sty. The giant porker severed an artery in 29-year-old farmer Imre Kovac’s leg and he bled to death in less then five minutes.

Five Legged Pig Wins Vegetable Death Match

Back when we used to raise pigs in outdoor lots you would have to retrieve a newly farrowed litter from it's mother so you could give them their shots and stuff. You had to be fast and outsmart her because as soon as you grabbed her baby and it squealed she would be on your ass. Sounds like the dead man in the OP was found in an outside lot. And believe me a momma sow will kill you over her kids.

Old and slow is right. They'll kill and eat shit. They are very cannibalistic. If there is a weak one, they will kill it and eat it. I imagine if you threw a rabbit or something in there they would kill it and eat it.

We had one that got hung up in the fence and was touching the electric fence there. And even though he was electrified half the time and shocking the shit out of the pigs that were trying to eat him, they were still trying to eat him. While he was alive. We had to get him out of the fence and separate him until he got some strength back enough to fight back when they bit him.

So yeah, you throw a dude in there with a broken leg and no way to get out, me thinks he's done. Long slow death, but he's done.

They are mean sons of bitches.

Oh and, Hogfarmer, good to see you haven't gotten dead by black widow yet.

Oh now. Hogs that are well managed are docile creatures generally. Not to say they make a great pet but other than the scenario Mr HogFarmer described of a mother defending her younguns, hogs are pretty friendly creatures.

The meanest sows I ever had dealings with were on the farm I lived on as an exchange student in Denmark. Danish Landrace mommas are ready i an instant to take you out even when you are just trying to feed them. Our Duroc and Hamp crosses growing up were never like that.

I never did find what was rotten in Denmark. I'll always regret that.

I'll agree with your Landrace over your Durocs and Hamps, but I'd jump in a pen with a Landrace over a Tamworth any day.

Those were the meanest domesticated pigs I ever messed with. Organizing one of their breed shows is a nonstop bacon fight.


...now that I think about it, I'd guess they came from very similar gene pools.

So apparently the best way to hide a body if you ever commit murder is to toss it into a pig sty?

Never knew that...



(quietly writing notes)

Yeah ... everything is just rosy posie in the ol' pigpen until Porky kills you and eats you like he did 40 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE US AND CANADA JUST LAST YEAR!!!

Ah - so there are different lines of swine. My personal experience is with the nicer variety. They'll just let you pick them up by the hind legs and lop their testicles off.

Tams are bad tempered. But not many folks where I grew up raised them. We had some Spotted Polands in the area, a few Poland Chinas, a lot of Duroc and hams, and a few other breeds scattered about. Tams were bad for getting out of pens at the Illinois State Fair.
