Pig Causes Gas Leak Scare

One Australian farmer could've used our swine flu mask recently, but not for the reason you might think. After smelling what he thought was a gas leak, he called emergency services, and two fire trucks rushed over to his farm. When the fire captain came in, he took one look at the man's pig, and it was immediately apparent that the foul air was a gas problem of a different sort: They were all getting a whiff of the pig's wind.

If a single sow's fetid flatulence is enough to warrant the attention of 15 firefighters, then imagine the gaseous trail left by the 63 million pigs on factory farms. Turns out that going vegan helps reduce more than one type of gaseous emission.

Pigs are more intelligent than many of the ignorant people who eat them.

I will never understand how people can call themselves animal lovers and still eat meat.
Hello!!! Look at that picture if you're animal lover you'd be disguisted that such a sweet animal was murdered for your meal.

but what happens in the wild? Animals still pass gas just as humans no matter what is eaten, it is caused by swallowing air..

Well said, Brian. In fact, I bet many forms of bacteria are smarter than the ignorant people who eat pigs...

@ t
uh yeah most animals have digestive tracts, but that's not the whole story, of course not. factory farmed animals, like this poor pet pig, don't eat a natural diet and are brutally tortured and sadistically slaughtered, business as usual. your listless appeal to nature is insufficient and incorrect. Livestocks Long Shadow shows clear evidence of the continuous damage to the environment caused by industrial-madness factory farming.

When I think back to my meateating days, chomping on the ribs of a pig, it makes me feel less then human, like a wild beast.
