heard on the radio a trucker hauling pigs around Dunrea , Mb pigs fell out of truck he does not know .Anyone know if he got word to go back to see where the pigs are ?

Hope he loses by these actions and be charged for animal cruelty.  
 
The ones I feel sorry for are the pigs who now will be killed just because that trucker didn’t secure load. And the meat cannot be used.  
 
I eat pork and love it. When pigs are killed for meat that is at least a purpose.  
 
To be killed just because is terrible.

This thread wasn’t whAt I was expecting when reading the headline lol! My bad

Haha same here!

Wow that's super harsh lol.  
 
I live just down the road from where the pigs were, truck probably turned the corner on 346 to or from the hog barn and the pigs got out, they were walking around fine.  
 
Accidents happen, stop being so high and mighty.

Accidents do happen and it’s great that the escaped pigs are not injured, no one wants to see unnecessary harm inflicted, in this case all seemed to end well.  
However all transported loads must be properly secured and the trucker should have checked more thoroughly. Especially in the case of transporting animals it is the transporters responsibility to ensure the health and wellbeing of the animals that he or she is hauling.  
Whenever something like this happens it puts the spotlight on the rest of us that safely haul livestock daily. In the UK we had to attend a course and be certificated to haul livestock further then 42 miles. It was a very basic certification but also I found it informative. A similar program may be beneficial here in Canada.

Unfortunately they will be destroyed. Once they got out of the trailer they were no longer considered bio secure. assuming they were owned by one of the two large hog processors.
