Um, 30 hogs had to be put down. Will they still become bacon???

That happened in the parking lot of one of the Port of Entrys here this morning, except it was a truck with 390 lambs. Interstate 25 is closed north and southbound. The wind blew it over. Thats not even newsworthy here, must be a slow day in Vegas.

I heard people on the 15 and 215 can hear the squeeling of half crushed pigs. Thats sad! they were on their way to a slaughter house in CA.

They just got there early. I'm sorry, not funny. But I couldn't resist.

heading to California? That explains it, odds are the pigs committed suicide.

I drove by it at about 10 AM on the lower ramp from I15 north to 215 west. It was a sickening site, even knowing that they were headed to a slaughter house. The truck was on its side and a pig's head was sticking out of the back and feet hanging through the openings in the side of the truck (which were the floor when it was on its side). There were also some loose pigs and the police were just getting there.

The next night in the rain I saw 4 accidents on my way home. Tough week on the roads.
