Something’s fishy. Pigs would’ve been eating pigs to stay alive.

Lack of water would kill quicker than lack of feed.

I agree. Who would leave them to die like that 950-1000??? That many pigs would have been worth a lot. Anywhere from about $1-$5 a pound. You can grow a pig to butchering size in about 6 months.

Pigs eating pigs??

You got that right! There would have been one big sucker left in each pen. Probably... no water is what got ‘em.

Raise those things in confinement all my life. ANYone who would do something like that should have his backside kicked out his mouth. If they are looking for someone to pull the duty... it would not bother me at all.

Something's fishy indeed. Pork Belly prices are up 70+% over 1 year ago. That's a huge waste of money. Hell, I know nothing about pig farming, but give 'em to me and I'll buy feed and water for a year to get them ready for market.

Pigs have no problem being canibals.
