Insurance money?
Liability drives a crazy amount of thinking these days.
Probably running a Gus Fring-style drug lab out of the farm.
Same here. Can’t imagine their suffering.
The employee responsible (McIntosh) has been fired. He still thinks he did the right thing.
The real story. The volunteer firemen were Muslims and when they saw what was burning, went back to their firehouse screaming, "Allahu akhbar!" The employee's refusal to let them in was a cover story for their religious ecstasy.
Maximizing the insurance payout?
Was this employee Muslim?
How absolutely horrible, to be burned alive. And most of the 12,000 were piglets. Their squeals of pain and terror must have been horrible. I’m glad that employee was fired. Should have been shoved into one of the burning buildings. Probably instructed to fire the building for insurance. The company that owns the burned building AND pigs had a very similar fire at another pig farm in 2014 with 3500 pigs killed. That was just a warm-up to this, no pun intended.
Avoiding the frying plan — but not the fire.
damn the b@stard to Hell.
Wonder if Justine Trudork will ask for some pork to be imported. Bet he’ll drop tarriffs for back bacon shortage!
Was Rosie O’Donnell among the casualties?
I’d like to hear why the firefighters let the employee tell them what to do. And why there wasn’t a sprinkler system in a country chock full of regulations.
Trudeau voters? Not a BBQ joke...
I have no problem with what the employee did. Article said the pigs may have already been dead. My guess is smoke inhalation for them before the fire.
Sometimes, firefighters overdo the hero thing and go into situations that should have been avaided.
9/11 is a good example. Two buildings on fire from two huge fuel-ladened planes? There was nothing they could have done to save additional lives or property. Don’t doubt their courage for a second, but supervisors should have not allowed them to enter the building.
Another example was a restaurant fire in a one story restaurant at lunch time. 5 firefighters needlessly died because they entered the building to “rescue” nonexistent people. Really? It was the middle of the day and anyone in the building had far more than enough time to get out.
What a bacon bonanza!!
The place was probably a hellhole and they were embarressed to let them in. SOB should be incinerated himself. SOmething needs to be done about housing animals in such horrific conditions.
I like pork myself, butbthuscwas horrible. Theventire meat industry needs to be overhauled in their housing practises.
It’s Trudeau’s Canada. Need I say anything else.
