“hog farmers are killing their pigs because they can’t get them to market”

Wouldn’t getting them to market be a more pressing issue once you have slaughtered the pigs, rather than when they are still alive?

Geez, I worked as hog breeder my first job after retiring from the Army... and I didn’t know Pigs could fly!

That is what happens when you breed cheap pigs without wings.:)

DUMBGRUNT:" ..an outbreak of African swine fever obliterated the nation’s herds of hogs.
First detected in August 2018, the deadly disease has decimated the pig population by around 50%.

The African Swine Fever (Virus) literally killed off large populations of young piglets, last known, approximately 50% +.
Whole herds(?) of infected piglets were euthanized and plowed under,
little wonder why China bought "Smithfield Farms", the largest pork processing plant in the USA.
It is no surprise that they are importing live swine from Russia for breeding and meat processing.
Ever notice that many/ most viri occur and start in China; I wonder why ?
This may be the restart of China pork production since they are the worlds largest consumers of pork products.

But, but, but why aren’t Chinese ‘elites’ eating road kill like the folks in Wuhan’s wet market areas?

Why is a 747 flying so low?

” Chinese eat an average of 30kg of pork a year per person,”

That's about 66 pounds per person/year or a little over 5 pounds a month.

I eat more than that at just breakfast between bacon, sausage, Canadian bacon and ham that's a little over a pound a week.

Throw in pork loin, chops, roasts and fat back and I at least double that amount.

With that said, I lost over 25 pounds since last June and am now down to my Army (20 ish years old) weight and that was over 50 years ago.

I do love pork, maybe I'm a Chinese from Sicily.

Oh hell, I love all good food, red meat, fish or fowl and almost all veggies, pastas and grains.

I am thinking the pigs have better flying accommodations than most the flights I’ve been on lately.

This writer went all in on the pig puns. It’s like an article written entirely in puns. I can’t read past the first paragraph. It is an example of how journalist types are not happy reporting news when they would rather be writing novels, so they write news articles in the form of prose.

“I can’t read past the first paragraph.”

Following the great tradition of not reading and commenting on the entire article?

” journalist types are not happy”
Even the hired help is allowed some fun, Fridays in the last few minutes. If it has been a productive week.

“I do love pork, maybe I’m a Chinese from Sicily.”

The old question, if you were trapped on the island with only one cuisine?

Chinese and Italian are usually the first choices.

I’m getting hungry...
