The Pig Bang Theory

[Kentucky]

Why don't they just stop raising hogs? Somebody is going to get blown up real good one of these days.

It made me cringe when one of my sons decided to raise three pigs for slaughter. He sort of flaunted it in my face ... because I do not eat pork. He now has a freezer filled with said animal ... and I have to be careful when I eat at his home. I usually pack a little bag of extra food for me ... so I do not go hungry when I visit!!!

My father said once ... if a pig wouldn't eat something, neither would he. Too bad he loved pork ... and we were all raised on it. I loved it ... until I realized what they ate ... and, then, later, what Yahweh had to say about them.

Yes ... I have had the discussions about what really happened when the sheet was let down. The Bible even tells what it all means ... three times I believe! I think we could call the modern interpretation ... one strong delusion!!!

Indiana. Thirteen pigs at the 4-H fair in neighboring Grant County tested positive for a swine influenza virus (H3N2) and four human cases of variant influenza A (H3N2v) were detected among individuals who visited there, according to information released by State Board of Animal Health on Wednesday afternoon.

Each of the four people affected had visited the Grant County 4-H Fair, Marion, from June 16 to 22 prior to becoming ill, stated an official from Indiana State Department of Health, which is investigating the cases along with officials from Grant County Health Department.

Incidences of spontaneous manure foaming have increased significantly since the phenomenon started cropping up at factory-scale hog farms in the upper Midwest. Explosions have killed thousands of pigs, costing farmers millions of dollars.

Those operations are not 'farms', and the persons that operate them are not 'farmers'.

We've got a video somewhere that shows what factory farming is, and how they use 'farm' exemptions to get away with polluting the land, and contaminating the water. The hog operations are particularly disgusting.
