That’s how they got rid of the bodies on “Deadwood” brought ‘em to the Chinese guy who fed ‘em to the hogs, which I guess he then fed to the people.

Copper on BBCA last night has a similar event -- the copper got rid of the body of the 'bad guy' by tossing it into the hog pen.

A hog’s closest relative is a... Bear.

There was a reason the farm hands freaked out when Dorothy fell in the pig pen...it had nothing to do with her dress getting muddy.

Alone in the USA and Canada approximately 40 people are killed each year by pigs – six times more than by sharks worldwide.

Raised some hogs off and on...

Had some fat hogs one summer it rained non-stop. I’d fill a 3- bushel spin feeder and rather than spin it they’d just knock it over in the mud.

I went in the pen to pull the feeder and the base was suctioned down (cast iron, had a big cone in the center).

When I finally flipped the base up it revealed about 2 lbs of earthworms seeking dry shelter. Unfortunately, I fell backwards as the base flipped forwards and I was left on my back in the mud with a pile of earthworms between my knees.

There is no sensation I can describe like being stuck in the mud on your back and having hogs inhale a pile of earthworms between your thighs...

What happened next is somewhat unclear but I unassed the area with every fiber of my being.

I remember a news clip shown back in the late 60’s from Vietnam, an Army platoon fired up some VC they caught in a village and one of the villagers let his pigs loose and they started dragging the dead VC bodies around in a rampage.

Heard that about “where’s your Brother” all my life.

Had a neighbor that fed his dead chickens. The sows would hold the bird down with one foot and tear it apart one pull, eat it feathers and all.

chickens would do the same thing given the chance. I’ve seen mine eat mice.

I used to have a cat who only would sit on my lap when I was really sick. My theory was she was waiting for me to die.
