What's for Dessert?

On Wednesday morning, Terry V. Garner, a 70-year-old Oregon farmer, went to feed his animals. Several hours later, when he hadn’t returned, a family member went to look for him and found, on the ground of the hog enclosure, his dentures.

What's for Dessert?
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.
Geeeze.. This reminds me of my first wife, but that is definitely another story.. Carry on..:)
Lol! I knew that had to be the Green Jello classic.
They only want you to think it was hogs...
... it was really ZOMBIE TURTLES

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.
Found this on the Google.

LOL!
Lucky it was the earthworms. :)
chickens would do the same thing given the chance. I’ve seen mine eat mice.
Farmer- the Other White Meat
And I watched the whole thing.
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.
