Well that sucks...

Post by mtman1 »

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.

Further investigation of the enclosure revealed that the hogs, which each weighed about 700 pounds, had nearly completely eaten the farmer, although some body parts were strewn about the enclosure.
Now the Coos County Sheriff’s Office is investigating how Garner “ended up in a position where the hogs were able to consume him.”

According to the Sheriff's statement:

There are several scenarios being investigated, including that Mr. Garner had a health event, such as a heart attack, which then put him in a position where the hogs could consume him. Another scenario being investigated is that given the age and health of Mr. Garner, that one or more of the hogs knocked Mr. Garner to the ground, whereupon that hogs killed and consumed him. In addition, due to the unusual circumstances presented

The statement added that at least one of the hogs had previously been aggressive toward the farmer but did not specify how many hogs live on the farm.
Garner’s remains were examined on Saturday by a pathologist who was unable to determine how the man died. A forensic anthropologist at the University of Oregon will also examine his remains.
Answering the phone at Garner’s home Monday, a man who described himself as a family friend described the tragedy succinctly: “What a way.”
This isn’t the first time hogs have eaten their farmers.
In 2004, a Romanian woman was knocked unconscious and eaten by the pigs on her farm, UPI reported at the time. The news report did not say whether the woman survived, only that the pigs had eaten the woman's ears and half her face.
Her husband, sedated, told reporters: "I'll never breed such beasts again."
Would you rather learn from Steve or Rif? Plus how many RKCs actually live in their cars and bathe in streams and shit?

This is no accident.

Vance’ brother Michael Garner told the AP that one of the pigs had a history of violence. A pig bit Vance last year when he accidently stamped on one of the piglets, Garner said.

A mutual friend of Shaf and myself is a pig farmer. By all accounts pigs are right bastards, and it really is eat or be eaten.

A friend in the South was describing the cull of feral hogs in their county. Again, the bristly bastards have it coming.

I've often thought a fitting execution to radical Islamic terrorists (like the 911 types) would be to give them an epidural spinal anesthesia, then put them in a pig pen to be eaten.

Televise this as the end all Islamic terrorists caught will face.

That would actually be rather prophetic on a deeper level. In Egypt where I studied in 2009 there is a small Coptic Christian minority (about ~10% of the population) and many of them are pig breeders, because they can eat pork.
To be executed by pig would be symbolic... almost martyrdom?

Although interestingly in 2009-2010 when the swine flu broke out, they had to put down a lot of the pigs and the Christians were prohibited from owning pigs. Aside from losing their livelihood, the waste situation in Cairo has apparently gotten really bad because the pigs were the ones who ate all the trash...

You are correct. Except Gorby, he sounds more like Prince William.
