64,000 pigs had to wait to die because of paper work snafu

"Chicken Hunter wonders if we can't keep the workers documented then how many of the 32,000 hogs killed daily are really looked at for health, disease, Osma bin Piggy or maybe a cigarette butt. Because if I do the math...5000 employees and 32,000 hogs killed daily. Less the one worker who falls into a grinder, the eighty who cut off fingers, the seventy who are stoned and the 60+ managers that do what Corporate tells them to do. Roughly 3500 workers killing 32,000 hogs. Nine hogs per worker per day. Nice to see the consolidation of the food groups is really working out for the working man.

Chicken Hunter thinks these guys should make $48k a year at least. In my country Greenland"

Smithfield Workers Return to N.C. Plant

Employees at a Smithfield Foods Inc. slaughtering plant returned to work Saturday after walking off their jobs the previous two days to protest the recent firing of immigrants.
In all, about 1,000 nonunion workers, mostly Hispanic, participated in the walkout, and company officials have said they won't be disciplined. The agreement to return to work came late Friday after Smithfield representatives met with leaders from a Roman Catholic Church to discuss the workers' grievances.

The plant in Tar Heel, located about 25 miles south of Fayetteville, employs 5,000 workers and slaughters up to 32,000 hogs a day. Smithfield, Va.-based Smithfield Foods (nyse: SFD - news - people ) is the world's largest pork processor.

Let the world know that you can't get laid by showing up at midnight gaming championship

"Chicken Hunter wondered where some of the biggest losers in the United States gather. The challenge is to sift through your ordinary losers, the kind that wait in line for Star Wars, and find losers that other losers worship. These losers may even have a "I'm a gamer and not a virgin story" to tell the other losers who are still virgins (90% of all gamers are virgins and/or live at home with Mom...Newsweak Vol. 4 1999).

This gathering of freaks and pimple faced non-prom going citizens has to be stopped. On giant culling in Texas would improve the overall gene pool of Americans."

A story about Mel Gibson's Elephant

"Chicken Hunter heard a rumor that these Elephants were targeting the Jewish village down the dirt road from the village that was attacked. Beer and Elephants are two things that don't mix. Much like Mel Gibson on the Gin these elephants need to hire a P.R. person and say they are sorry."

A HERD of elephants drunk on rice beer has trampled three people to death, including a four-year-old boy, on a rampage through a village in the northeastern Indian state of Assam.
Residents of Teok Kathoni tried to scare them off using drums and firecrackers, but the elephants consumed the remote village’s stocks of rice beer, then charged through huts, killing the boy and injuring his eight-year-old brother.
It was the latest in a string of incidents over the past fortnight, which wildlife experts have attributed to human encroachment on the elephant’s natural habitat in the region. Assam has India’s biggest population of elephants, estimated at 5,300. Until recently, they lived in relative seclusion in the dense forest that covers much of the region near India’s borders with Bangladesh, Burma, Bhutan and China.
