DRUNKEN SWINE BEHAVE JUST LIKE HUMANS
STOCKHOLM (Reuter) A Swedish farmer found his 2,500 pigs reeling
drunk after unwittingly feeding them fermented dairy products four
hours earlier.
"I noticed they were stumbling ... and then I saw some pigs falling
asleep. Others got aggressive and started fighting with each other.
Some were even throwing up." Birger Moquist was quoted as saying in
the Friday edition of the daily Ostgotan.
A Swedish vet called to the farm at Linkoping, central Sweden, said
the pigs had definitely consumed alcoholic mash and were behaving
"just like humans."
As expected, the pig party resulted in a serious hangover. "They
could only eat once the following day compared with the usual four
times. It took three days for them to get back to normal," Moquist
said.
It was not clear how the feed of juice, yogurt and milk had fermented.
