Though it's a thin silver lining to the victims of severe Midwestern flooding, the disaster has brought out the heartland ethic of neighbor helping neighbor.

Are you kidding me?! why didn't they try and help the pigs get back to land instead of killing them. That is so barbaric!! God forbid a human being is on top of the sandbag...what are they gonna do...shoot them too bacause they may poke holes w/their shoes, nails, or anything on them!!

You probably eat pig everyday, how else do they get killed? What they didn't show was them getting roasted to feed all the relief workers.

White Power" just wants to shoot something, better a pig than a person...well, most people, anyway.

Pork chops and applesauce -(lol
sorry I couldn't resist)

I feel bad for Wilbur and company, but I am not in the flood zone and can't comment on the decision made to shoot them. I feel bad but I am sure the decision makers felt they had to do what they had to do.

So Pres. Bush asks for Hundreds of Billions of dollars to fund a war overseas that we should never have gotten involved in but 1.8 Billion for the taxpayers that are now flooded out of their homes during an obvious un-admitted recession. Entire towns have been wiped off the map due to floods! What is wrong with this idiot. I really wish the politicians in this country actually gave a damn about their OWN country.

You're so wrong, I don't eat meat at all. Think before you make your stupid comments.
