70-year-old Oregon farmer eaten by his hogs - Found on the Net - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

**yortbogey** · 10-02-2012, 03:14 PM

On Wednesday morning, Terry V. Garner, a 70-year-old Oregon farmer, went to feed his animals. Several hours later, when he hadn’t returned, a family member went to look for him and found, on the ground of the hog enclosure, his dentures.

Further investigation of the enclosure revealed that the hogs, which each weighed about 700 pounds, had nearly completely eaten the farmer, although some body parts were strewn about the enclosure.
Now the Coos County Sheriff’s Office is investigating how Garner “ended up in a position where the hogs were able to consume him.” According to the Sheriff's statement:

There are several scenarios being investigated, including that Mr. Garner had a health event, such as a heart attack, which then put him in a position where the hogs could consume him. Another scenario being investigated is that given the age and health of Mr. Garner, that one or more of the hogs knocked Mr. Garner to the ground, whereupon that hogs killed and consumed him.

The statement added that at least one of the hogs had previously been aggressive toward the farmer but did not specify how many hogs live on the farm.
Garner’s remains were examined on Saturday by a pathologist who was unable to determine how the man died. A forensic anthropologist at the University of Oregon will also examine his remains.
Answering the phone at Garner’s home Monday, a man who described himself as a family friend described the tragedy succinctly: “What a way.”

Hogs that size are usually that large because they're part of a breeding herd. A breeding herd implies rather explicitly that the animals in question are sexually active, and if they're sexually active, then I can practically guarantee you they're that aggressive.

What on earth was he doing inside the enclosure? I've handled hogs as large as 400lbs and that's as big as I ever wanted to handle, up close and personal. And they were trained! Maybe if the hog were castrated it wouldn't be that aggressive, but what about the sows?

sounds dangerous just havin an animal that big around you.......

Poor bastard, hope he was dead before they started chomping. But yeah, he should not have been in the pen with them.

Foul play, or suicide by hog. eeeeew.

I read another article that said one of his sows had bitten him previously. He and his brother discussed killing that sow (she bit him when he stepped on a piglet, and I can see that happening) but apparently he didn't. I've never seen a 700lb sow, that's gotta just be fucking HUGE.
