Yikes!

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.

(I must not think about this tooooo closely, or I’ll never eat pork fried rice again!)

RIP poor pig farmer.

When our dog licks me, I always comment that she’s trying to find out what I taste like in case she gets the chance to eat me when I’m dead.

Tragic, however a new way has been discovered to dispose of muslim terrorists whereby they are executed and excreted later, much to the nourishment of the soil and also damning their souls forever by being more than exposed to pigs. I think that’s a winner. It’s “green” too.

Hogs can be REALLY nasty & dangerous. I was in a doc’s office once when a guy got carried in by his buddies - he was in dire need of having a butt cheek sewed back on where a hog got him.

They must have gotten to him relatively quick. Hogs can quickly devour without a trace humans if they can get them on the ground.

They revert back to wild literally within days in some cases. Most wild hogs in the United States are hogs that have escaped farms so that should give people some idea. The are the most destructive animal in the United States in terms of economic damage. It is very wise to give them the caution they deserve in dealing with both farm and wild hogs.

Prayers for the family.

Sad, but he probably knew hogs are omnivores, I have to believe he had a medical trauma that incapacitated him.

First thing that came to my mind was Unintended Consequences, but I know the circumstances are completely unrelated.
