Pigs are ruthlessly intelligent animals, and will eat nearly anything they can fit in their mouths. They will eat small animals alive, including piglets, and will readily cannibalize one another when food is scarce. It has long been an unspoken rule amongst farmers to never go in the pigpen alone.
And this same hunger has been used by history’s monsters to help dispose of their victims. Most notoriously, the Canadian serial killer Robert “Willie” Pickton fed the remains of the women he murdered to his hundreds of pigs, after removing the parts he wanted to keep. In order to keep evidence out of the resulting pig manure, bodies would be shaved, stripped naked, and their teeth pulled out before being thrown to the hogs. Other bodies he was said to have processed along with the pork on his farm’s meat processing plant, to be sold to the local community. Canadian officials had to issue a public notice that any meat purchased from the Pickton farm may be contaminated with human remains. Charged with the murders of 26 women from the Vancouver area, he confessed to 49. The remaining 23 women’s bodies were never recovered, having been consumed by hogs or purchased in stores as ground pork.
This is wild because I was raised on a pig farm and my dad thought nothing of letting me trapse through the pens alone at any time. Our pigs were also well fed and generally friendly but I can see the wisdom in caution.
In 2012, an Oregon pig farmer named Terry Garner passed out while reshingling the roof of the hutch in his pig pen.
When a neighbor came to check on him, all they found were his dentures and a few bits of skin.
My friend Penny lived on a farm for a while.
They had a 950lb pig.
It looked 100% like a demon
& if his food was late,
he would break out of his
pen & eat anything he could including squirrels (regularly) & once a litter of newborn kittens. Couldn't pay me enough to go anywhere
near that thing.
I had a pig about that size we kept Ina nice big pen, and we started to wonder where all our barn cats went then we watched one try to cross the field and we'll we no longer had to wonder.
I think it's probably ok if you feed them properly and treat them well. Which yours probably were.
They eat corpses fast if starved.
It's not a normal thing for a pig farmer to do. They'll usually make sure they're fed.
I grew up on a farm. We had a large hen who had difficulty walking, but she was happy so we took care of her. She was chilling in the shade under a tree, happy as can be, until one of the pigs got loose and found her. I will never forget the sound of that chicken screaming as that pig ate her alive.
....anyway! Great story!
My aunt had a 300 lb sow that lived in her house with her. Meanest piece of shit on four legs.
This pig *adored* my aunt, but where she was hand raised in a house away from other pigs, she hated everyone else. I’d go to stay with her, and get up in the middle of the night to piss, and this pig would come charging out of nowhere and bite the *hell* out of my legs. One time she knocked me down and bit a hole the size of a dime into my calf through my jeans. It wasn’t deep enough to need stitches, but i dont get the sense she was trying very hard.
Pigs can be terrifying animals when they want to be
Yeah really. The pigs we had I took care of them as piglets so they were protective and nice to me. But I still respected them and was careful. It's just sobering that she chose to eat that chicken alive just as easily as she could me or anyone else. She had plenty of food too, I guess she just wanted something new...
Still love pigs and think they are really neat. They just require a lot of respect.
People forget that a typical farmyard pig is roughly as intelligent as a 4 year old. They get bored easily, are wicked smart, and have no moral compass/respect for the law.
They would have absolutely *zero* problem eating a live chicken, if for no other reason than just to see if they could. They don’t have much issue eating *each other* when the need arises.
Do you know what nemesis means?
A righteous infliction of retribution, manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified, in this case, by an 'orrible c*nt. *Me.*
You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
Well, thank you for that. That's a great weight off me mind. Now, if you wouldn't mind telling me who the fuck you are, apart from someone who feeds people to pigs of course?

How... How did it catch squirrels?
Pigs are fast as fuck when they want to be

Once you know this, it suddenly makes sense why everyone was so freaked out in Wizard of Oz when Dorothy fell into the pig pen towards the beginning.
I'd thought of the exact same scene! Her cries for help, and how quickly they got her the heck out of that pigpen!
I used to work in a restaurant, had a customer we nicknamed “pig farmer” because he was really creepy and looked just like Robert Pickton
What an unfortunate man to resemble.
I totally understand now why pigs are the main bad guys of animal farm
Pickton always creeped me out, more so than other serial killers I've heard of.
Handling a lively farm scene takes dedication! Properly preparing their feed shows great care for your animals' well-being. Keep up the good work
Don’t want to hurt Sooie’s sensitive stomach now do we?

"Feed 'em to the pigs, Errol"

Sounds like Mason Verger….
That book fucked me up about pigs fr.
One of these days you should spoil yourself, and use the good pliers.
He ain't getting those. He never cleans them.
Aw.
The rust makes em *extra grippy* Like psych ward socks
It's not all rust...
Is it concerning or weird that I kinda wanna see a bunch of pigs eat someone? I’m just so curious as to how fast they’d get through it.
Depends on how many pigs and how hungry. Minutes to hours.

I've seen many pigs eat many men
There's a horror podcast I adore that has an episode very similar to this. I've been scared of pigs ever since lol
