Vancouver prosecutors offered shocking details of the alleged crimes perpetrated by a Canadian pig farmer.

The pig farmer has been charged with murdering 26 women and feeding them to his pigs.

"He would take them (the women) into a room and feed them to the pigs", a former worker told officers in a taped conversation.

The victims have been described as "mostly drug-addicted prostitutes".

I wonder how the consumers are feeling at present with the knowledge that the pigs they've been feasting on have been eating human flesh contaminated with addictive drugs?

The pig farmer during the trial protested, "I'm just a plain little farm boy."

Police suspect the "plain little farm boy" of being responsible for the disappearance of 65 women over several years.

65 women? That would be a lot of stock feed!

Seems the Canadian legislation is just as useless as our own and their inspectors are also asleep at the wheel!

Best you just stick to eating the canned tuna Dickie, most of
which is caught and canned off the Thailand coast, where all
those tzunami bodies have been floating around.

Ditzie Dickie returns; our favourite bush lawyer. The fact that arrests have been made and convictions seem likely is completely irrelevant to our sensitive, caring and sharing Dickie.

Note: Legislation does not = enforcement, Dickie being a product of the age of permissive child rearing (Dickie refused to comment on the possibility of being an abused child) it is easy to understand how Dickie could make such a mistake.

So now murder is an animal liberation issue is it?

Wild pigs eat dead pigs in the wild, fact. Wild pigs eat all sorts of dead things. Wild pigs are head shot, transported to a mobile chiller, inspected for various things and exported to Europeans who can not get enough of the stuff. Why, because they believe it is clean organic flavoursome meat.

Re: BSE or Mad Cow Disease, cows eating the flesh of cows is an entirely different matter than pigs eating pigs.

My recollection is that the cattle feed was contaminated with organisms that were present due to a lowering of the standard temperature for rendering animal products which were put into the cattle feed at that time (not a pleasant thought I agree). The infectious agent in BSE is believed to be a specific type of misfolded protein called prion. So unless the dead pigs were infected with BSE and we have not had any cases in Australia there is no chance the WA pigs were infected.

Now drug addiction due to eating pork chops -- certainly a quintessential example of Olympic standard logic leaping. There would be an extremely low chance that any one person or for that matter any one family would consume the entire carcass of one heroin contaminated pic. How much heroin could there be in a couple of pork chops for cripes sake! Porcine induced drug dependency -- Dickie needs to write this one up for the British Medical Journal.

The increasingly desperate attempts to justify the paranoia of some Animal Lib concepts only reinforces the need to be concerned about the mental health of such zealots.

PETA outed -- again. 83% of the animals they "care" for are killed. Remember when animals are treated like people then people will be treated like animals. After all PETA thinks disabled people should be euthanized also.

PETA Trial, Day 3 17 hrs ago. Dickie likes things up to date.

"Adria and Andy were simply doing their jobs to euthanize the animals."

That's Blair Brown -- a lawyer for one of two PETA employees on trial for felony animal cruelty -- virtually summing up the defense's strategy during his opening statement yesterday. Brown and the rest of PETA's legal team don't deny that the two defendants -- Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook -- killed (at least) 31 dogs and kittens in June 2005. They don't deny that the two threw the dead bodies into a dumpster. And they don't deny that what Hinkle and Cook did is standard practice for a group that wants constitutional rights for pigs.

The flimsy justification for the pro-animal-rights/pro-animal-killing hypocrisy touted by PETA folks inside and outside the courtroom has been that euthanizing these animals is more humane than keeping them in overcrowded shelters. But that begs the question: If local shelter conditions really are that bad, and the preservation of animal life is PETA's singular purpose, why didn't they adopt the animals themselves? Maybe the home they'd provide is less than ideal -- but it's certainly better than being dead.

Then again, when you spend so much of your $25 million budget on tasteless billboards, props for naked protests, and disturbing comic books, there's probably not much cash left to care for real-live animals.

There is a case for concern when posters on this thread who are associated with farming practices and living in the "civilised country", condone the feeding of human flesh to pigs and endorse the practice of turning factory pigs into cannibals! I would simply say: "Buyer beware!"

Australian virologist Peter Kirkland is quoted as saying : "You can't screen for viruses you don't know about".

If you have not already done so, I invite you to reflect on the excerpt from "Old Macdonald's Factory Farm" by C David Coats:

"Isn't man an amazing animal. He kills wildlife, birds, kangaroos, deer, cats, dogs, beavers, mice and foxes by the millions in order to protect his animals and their feed.

Then he kills his animals by the billions and eats them.

This in turn kills men by the millions because eating all those animals leads to degenerative and fatal health conditions like heart disease, kidney failure and cancer.

So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for a cure.

Elswhere millions of other humans are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten farmed animals.

Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man who kills so easily, so violently and once a year, sends out cards praying for peace on earth."

Clearly David doesent understand evolution theory! His ancestors
were hunter-gatherers after all, not very long ago in evolutionary
terms.

Hunting and eating meat is part of our evolutionary story.
Ok, so gathering of lettuce leaves was women's work :)

Many species eat other species, its all quite natural. Perhaps
David needs to contemplate his navel and ponder why obesity and
heart disease have become major problems since American junk
food came on the scene, with its trans fats and other rubbish.

In the end, even David will be recycled. The worms will
have their feast :) Reality happens, some just can't deal with it
and try to close their eyes, but it doesent go away.
