Two die in Hungarian pig shock horror
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - The annual pre-Christmas swine slaughter in a southwestern Hungarian village came to a shocking end after one man died of electrocution while trying to stun a pig, whose owner then died of heart attack.
Celebrations at the pig-killing party in Darvaspuszta took a turn for the worse on Saturday when an unnamed visiting Croatian man shocked himself to death while trying to knock out a pig with a homemade electric pig stunner, national news agency MTI said
A local man ended up in hospital with an irregular heart rhythm after attempting a rescue by trying to unplug the device.
The shocking accident so upset the pig's owner, he suffered a heart attack and died.
There was no word on the fate of the pig.

Oh dear.
"Shock horror" is a staple of UK tabloid headlines. Now someone's gone and used it literally.
Yes, it's swinish of me to find this funny.

About frost time in northern New York we did butcher pigs. Ate them part and parcel starting soon thereafter.

I nearly ran over a pig in the middle of the road yesterday. Stupid oinker was in the ditch, and as I approached, it ran to the middle of the road and stood there staring at my car. Almost got some high quality chittlins.
