Oregon farmer eaten by his pigs.

[Starboard Tack]

Authorities are investigating how a farmer in the US state of Oregon was devoured by his pigs.

Terry Vance Garner, 69, went to feed his animals last Wednesday on his farm by the coast, but never returned.

His dentures and pieces of his body were found by a family member in the pig enclosure, but the rest of his remains had been consumed.

What a tragically ironic story. In one sense, this story is horrific, in another sense, it maybe construed as karmic and in yet another, it was just mother nature at work.
I'm still holding off on the bacon today.

1. It is possible....

I heard that pigs are omnivores and will eat just about anything. I doubt they attacked him, but if he was wounded and laying, he would have been seen as a tasty treat.

[get the red out]

3. He was an older man

He could have had a heart attack or stroke and passed of natural causes, only to become a meal for the pigs.

Very sad circumstances.

[anneboleyn]

20. That is my guess. He died of a heart attack or something and gradually the pigs ate the body

[-..__...]

4. A single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute.

They will go through bone like butter

[morningglory]

13. So they even ate his shoes. nt

22. Do you know what "nemesis" means?

A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me.

38. Good movie, that was

24. Thanks,

Bricktop!!!

15. not only possible, but probable.... they are omnivores and will eat damn near anything when

hungry..... when well fed, they can be as picky as children.....

21. If a pig smells blood, game over.

Pigs are land sharks. If the man fell, the pigs would have been on him. If one drew blood with a bite or a hoof step, all would have attacked. The pigs were around 700 pounds each.

2. Judging from his age, I would guess heart attack while in the hog pen.

Once you're on the ground, you're food.

[gollygee]

5. So are people now going to eat these pigs?

I'm kind of icked out by this story.

6. Just like Mr. Wu's pigs in Deadwood

11. I'll let Brick Top explain it all for you.........

[backscatter712]

25. Brick Top is truly one of the most evil villains in cinema! n/t

26. So, you are obviously the big dick.

...The men on the side of ya are your balls. Now there are two types of balls. There are big brave balls, and there are little mincey faggot balls. Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And you thought you smelled some good old pussy, and have brought your two little mincey faggot balls along for a good old time. But you've got your parties muddled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your guns...

Just love that film.

31. And Big Chris...

[thelordofhell]

34. And to bring it full circle.........the narrator (alan) played Brick Top

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels & Snatch make a great double feature!! Guy Ritchie at his best!!

[Viking12]

12. Were the pigs named Snowball and Napoleon?

[Bigmack]

14. I raised pigs on my small farm...

..Hampshires.

There is a saying in farming... Hamps will keep the lions away.

One sow, weight about 650 in her fighting trim, would sometimes knock me down "accidentally" and put her mouth around my leg and look up at me.

Just letting me know who's boss.

If I'd had a heart attack or been knocked unconscious....

Al Sweringen had the easy way to get rid of his embarrassing corpses.

16. Four legs good, two legs bad

[anneboleyn]

23. Ha! "Some animals are more equal than others"

[babydollhead]

17. how long had it been since he fed them? n/t

[Arugula Latte]

18. Sort of a reverse Lord of the Flies.

Hopefully he died first, and then was consumed. I do wonder, though, if the pigs were starving or at least very hungry to do that.

[True Earthling]

19. The other white meat? n/t

[backscatter712]

27. Well, if I ever need to dispose of a body, now I know where to go!

But like Brick Top advises, make sure you cut off the hair and pull out his teeth. You could do that afterwards, but you don't want to go sifting through pig shit, do you?

[fearnobush]

28. Talk about going hog wild.

Ouch

[alittlelark]

29. My uncle was almost eaten by pigs

He had a sow he Loved who had piglets. He made the mistake of walking between her and the piglets during feeding and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. His wife saved him by bashing her w/ a 2x4. His scars are UGLY.

[Botany]

32. he must have tasted like chicken

[backscatter712]

36. Nah, like pork!

I wonder if pigs make cannibalism jokes when eating human corpses like some of us do when eating pork roast?

[Zorra]

33. How unbelievably horrible.

I hope he died instantly of a brain aneurysm or heart attack before the pigs got to him. Like maybe he fell down dead before the pigs got to him.

I hope that's what happened.

[Shitty Mitty]

35. At first, I thought someones' bosses had cannibalized him

[Catherine Vincent]

37. omg how tragic!

Not too long ago, some small town mayor was attacked and killed by his donkey. Very sad.
