He would have to take some time and learn grappling. He would have no choice or he'd end up with a Kimbo Slice-like record in the UFC championship (0-1 - was cut from UFC and started fighting with the more amateur Bellator company again).Jungle Rat wrote:Naw.

Maybe people don't care much about chickens or turkeys, but from everything I've read, pigs are at least as intelligent as dogs. The way they are processed makes those Humane Society commercials (where the sad, shivering, weather-beaten dog is staring at the screen) look like a vacation at the Four Seasons. Nobody wants to think about that while they're scarfing down their sausage, egg and cheese biscuit, but that's the reality...eCat wrote:what has happened to youCletus wrote:Fighting to the death is a more natural event and outcome than what happens on those farms.

Huge Spill of Hog Waste Fuels an Old Debate in North Carolina
June 25, 1995
HAW BRANCH, N.C., June 24— The worst hog-waste spill in state history sent 25 million gallons of waste gushing into the New River this week, killing fish and taking the battle over the hog industry to a new level.
A dike surrounding an eight-acre receptacle for hog waste at Oceanview Farms in Onslow County collapsed on Wednesday afternoon. Knee-deep red, soupy waste rushed over roads and tobacco and soybean fields and into two nearby tributaries of the New River until the waste lagoon, which is 12 feet deep and held waste from more than 10,000 hogs, was virtually empty.
"A lagoon is something a beautiful girl swims in on Fantasy Island," said Don Webb, a spokesman for the Alliance for a Responsible Swine Industry. "This was a cesspool. Twenty-five million gallons of feces and urine. We've been telling them that things like this happen."

If you pull turkey production, pork production, and Seymour Johnson AFB, my hometown would cease to exist.
