Vandals Release 600 Hogs; 30 Killed

The Sheriff's Office in Story County, Iowa, said Wednesday that nearly three dozen hogs were killed or injured over the weekend near Collins, Iowa.

Who let the hogs out?

[Voice of Reason]

The owner of the hogs said "We're not making any moeny the way it is...". Seems to me that this was probably an inside job, set up to look like vandals in an attempt to collect the insurance money for the dead and injured hogs, and other damage done to his business. In these times of high gas prices, inflated mortgages, and food costs rising, I can see why he would do it.

NO MATTER WHAT WAY YOU LOOK AT WHOEVER DID THIS DESERVES TO BE TORTURED AND PUT TO DEATH. THIS IS THE WAY AMERICA NEEDS TO DEAL WITH CRIME. IF I EVER BECAME PRESIDENT HERE IS WHAT I WOULD

1. ABOLISH THE 8TH amendment
2. sign all death warrants to put the scum of the earth to rest.
3. I would get scumbags like these and do the same to them

Yes, it is blatant animal abuse. But - you have 600 hogs on your property? I somehow doubt you plan on keeping them as pets. Isn't what you plan on doing to them in the future also animal abuse?

[glsmarlton]

Absolutly animal abuse-regardless if these animals are going to the slaughter house or not.

I hope these creeps are found and convicted to the max...same as the slaughter house in SC and Ca. It's theft, trespassing, and extreme cruelty.

Go get these guys and hang them high!

I used to live in Collins! now I live here in Des Moines, who would do something so cruel and mean? I think I know some kids from high school that would've but there's too many to really put a finger on.

[Keyser Sose]

I love Hogs, they taste great.

Unless you do not eat seafood, meat, and eggs of any type along with most boxed foods, even pizza, you have eaten a portion of meat products. Get a life. GOD put it on earth, so enjoy.

Umm, gas is only $2.29 here in Iowa, and if you have a high interest rate on you morgage, I think thats your own fault. Also, he probably said that because he didn't have insurance to cover that type of loss. Way to blame the farmer!
