hahaha, saw the title of the thread, and thought to myself, I wonder if there was/is/will be another hog barn fire. Go into the thread and see the link, and then shake my head and chuckle.

Ok...so there were 7 employees in the barn when the fire started...and none of them could open a few doors/gates to let the pigs out so they could get in the field?

I would think this one is HIGHLY suspicious.

Even if they let 100 pigs out...that's 100 that are saved and don't have to be replaced.

I don't think I could stand by and listen to 3000 screaming pigs burning in a barn Sad.

Sunnybrook Swine Inc. of Manitoba eh. Is this another Hutterite operation?

Why would any insurance company in their right mind offer insurance to a hog operation? If they don't get outrageous premiums for it, they should fire their management imo.

It appears that it's not IF these places will burn, but rather WHEN.

Apparently 3000 dead hogs was incorrect....
