Does anyone else think it is strange that they didn't notice the pigs were missing for 10 days? You would think if you were feeding 120 pigs on a daily basis, it would be pretty obvious they were stolen. Although, I have seen farms, where the pigs are kept in tiny wooden stalls, and fed on a conveyor belt that goes past the front, and then one goes by them on the back, that carries away their "excrement" It was a pretty horrible sight, and actually why I stopped eating pork. If it was a factory farm like that, I can see why no one would notice they were gone. Even if they are dead, they are probably better off, then being with someone who doesn't care about them enough to notice they are missing for 10 days.

The time frame was over a month the might of dwindled away and blew into the wind. Or the flood took em.

They're working at Screemin Meemies,, oh wait it's closed now isn't it? (sorry coulnd't resist)

By now those hogs may possibly have fed you.

I hope whoever took them feeds them, the time frame for them missing was over a week. I don't know much about swine, but don't they eat on a daily basis? How is it that nobody missed them right away?

my vote's on harry plopper... magically disappears... ;)

So this is what a story looks like when the AP tries to be clever with words....hmmm. I feel doubly sorry for the farmers with the missing pigs. They have 19,000.00 worth of swine stolen, then they have to read the story written like this.
