Hogs eat man

[cassie]

In an Alfred Hitchcock short story I read years ago, a man got rid of a troublesome girlfriend (or ex wife) by feeding her to the chickens. Ran her through the hammer mill and mixed her with the feed. In another story, a woman disposed of her abusive husband by feeding him to the dogs. And in another, a woman converted a troublesome blackmailer into compost. The favorite disposal though, both in fiction and real life, seems to be pigs. I like pigs, but I am always very careful when I work around them.

I watched this story on the local news - yikes - what a way to go.

This is insane. Watch out for pigs in numbers!

No it had something to do with a little boy (perhaps named timmy tommy peter or some common old name, and he did something (perhaps stole the pig???) and he ended up being eaten by a pig...

Was it "Tom, Tom the piper's son, stole a pig and away he run"?

Yes I remember now one version sent chills up my back as a kid because it told something to the effect that he was eaten by pigs, I tried looking for it on the Internet with no luck kept finding the basic story of him eating a pig (apparently one source stated it was some sort of pastry) I wonder if someone tried to make a "Grimms" version of it to turn kids into vegetarians or to hate farm animals.....

And people wonder why i want to kill every pig and piglet i see and why i hate them so much.

X2! In fact the pigs I kept seemed to me to be a lot smarter than some people I know.
