A dozen pigs who managed to escape drowning at a factory farm were shot after they swam their way to a levee. They were among the thousand pigs left behind to drown in floodwaters. About 35,000 others were trucked to factory farms outside of the flood zone. Here’s how the Chairman of the county emergency management commission put it:
We trucked them as far as 200 miles away to other hog farms so that they would be taken care of.
You can be sure the rescued pigs were taken care of, all right. Link.
