Farmer in hospital after pigs attack : "The police spokesman said it was the first time he had heard of a pig attack in the area - but it was unlikely the herd would be put down."
I have heard of guard pigs being used in Canada. Apparently they are far more effective than guard dogs. I wouldn't want a massively angry pig charging at me. I have never heard of pigs attacking farmers. I am sure it's not the first time a farmer has been knocked over by a sow because they can be so huge and cumbersome. Past that point the pigs seemed to have got stuck into him and I am so glad he is all right. He would have been defenseless there in the pig pen. I hope they can establish why the pigs became so aggressive because it does seem to be unusual. Luckily, when he recovers, he'll be able to regale others with the story for hours.
