Man eaten by his Pigs
Ein Schweinefarmer in Oregon wurde wohl von seinen Tieren gefressen. Unbedingt nach oder während dieser Meldung die Audioversion von Graham Mastertons „Ein gefundenes Fressen“ hören, passt wunderbar.
Terry Vance Garner, 69, never returned after he set out to feed his animals last Wednesday on his farm near the Oregon coast, the Coos County district attorney said Monday.
A family member found Garner’s dentures and pieces of his body in the hog enclosure several hours later, but most of his remains had been consumed, District Attorney Paul Frasier said. Several of the hogs weighed 700 pounds or more.It’s possible Garner had a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, or was knocked over by the animals, then killed and eaten, Frasier said, adding that at least one hog had previously bitten Garner.

Interspecies Multiplayer-Game for Pigs and Humans

Schönes Projekt von Studenten der Utrecht School of the Arts, die ein Multiplayer-Interspecies-Game konzipiert haben, in dem Menschen und Schweine zusammen spielen und die wollen das tatsächlich in die Tat umsetzen. Ich bin gespannt.
The Playing with Pigs project is researching the complex relationship we have with domesticated pigs by designing a game. Designing new forms of human-pig interaction can create the opportunity for consumers and pigs to forge new relations as well as to experience the cognitive capabilities of each other. The game is called Pig Chase. […]
So what we have is a game that enables humans to play with an animal they normally only consume as meat. For pigs, humans are transformed into a source of entertainment.
