webfact Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hundreds of pigs squashed to death in grisly Pathum Thani road accident By The Nation Hundreds of baby pigs were killed in an auto accident and many others heavily injured when a truck transporting them flipped over in Pathum Thani province at 4am on Thursday. The accident site was like something out of a horror film, with baby pigs screaming in pain and others lying dead. The truck driver did not sustain too many injuries and the vehicle was removed at 8am by police from the nearby Khu Bang Luang Police Station. Officers believe the driver fell asleep behind the wheel and ran into a concrete barrier, the impact of which made the truck flip. He faces charges of reckless driving.

Popular Post OneeyedJohn Posted November 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2020 I like pigs. We used to have them on our property, took 6 months to get them to slaughter weight, and after having seen how they are killed in our village, I stopped immediately. Before that we had a field of wild boar, about 67 of them, but I had less affection for them, nevertheless one had to admire their athletic ability. A 2+ metre wall was no problem for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as in all mammals, toxins are treated by the liver and kidneys and the break-down products excreted. https://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/blog/pork-myths/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of more concern probably is the anti biotics and hormones that commerical famers tend to stuff into their pigs which also get partially passed on when we consume the meat.

AlexRich Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I recall a Churchill quote about pigs. It was something like: ”Dogs look up to you, cats look down on you, but pigs treat you as an equal” ... or words to that effect. Poor little sods.
