There was a true story about a sow and her piglets who were punished for eating a human. The sow got a life sentence, or was executed, but the little ones were spared the death penalty because of their age and the example their mama set for them.
I had an old boss that would not eat anything that came from a pig. He said after being raised on a farm and seeing what pigs eat that he couldn’t stand the thought of eating a pig.
On this day in history on August 28th 1963 One of the largest demonstrations in the history of the United States, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, takes place and reaches its climax at the base of the Lincoln Memorial when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivers his “I have a dream” speech.
I’ve come across two (supposedly) true stories about serial killers who fed their victims to pigs. In one case it was a kind of family business. No, I purposely don’t remember more.
The one about the pigs I know from personal experience. I grew up on a farm. As a pre-teen, it was my job to “slop” the hogs. One day after doing my job and about to exit over the fence, this huge boar tried to take a bite out of my foot.
I’ve heard that those who raise hogs (especially the big ones) learn to never turn their back on them. They can be surprisingly aggressive (and huge) for animals stereotyped as “lazy and gluttonous.”
Reminds me of a crazy film from Australia called “Razorback”.. wild boar the size of a buffalo, chasing & killing the residents in this rundown outback town. Yeah… it was very weird and fake looking ..but I did buy it..Lol! :^))
Pigs will eat anything. I shot a couple of pigeons once. They fell in the hog lot, and by the time I got there, there was nothing left. Not even a feather. In Iowa, where I grew up, stories were legion of farmers who suffered a heart attack while in a hog lot, and were eaten. Whether in whole, or in part, I cannot say.

Not trying to sound anti-Semitic, but if to some humans, eating pork is neither kosher nor halal, how does humans taste to pigs?

That goes both ways, Porky. I’m a big fan of ham and bacon.

Given the chance, ALL meat eating creatures will eat humans…..humans are simply meat.
Meat-eating creatures won’t think a dead pig is tastier than a dead human. Meat eating creatures don’t discriminate
on what meat to eat. given the right circumstances, even HUMANS eat humans.
Just because humans consider themselves exceptional and thinkers and have souls doesn’t make them any less
palatable to a hungry meat eater

The TV show “Deadwood” routinely used pigs to get rid of dead bodies. Also, I no longer feel bad about loving bacon.

I remember feeding the pigs and wondering if one was going to take a chunk out of me.

Pigs eating humans was made known on a few detective shows.
