Cork farmer allowed pigs eat each other alive

My name is URL

A pig producer has pleaded guilty to animal welfare offences including causing suffering to his pigs by failing to treat or euthanise them after they were cannibalised on his farm.

Rory O’Brien pleaded guilty to five charges including that he failed to prevent unnecessary suffering by failing to treat or euthanise some animals which were eaten alive by others.

Mr O’Brien of Killicane, Mitchelstown, Co Cork, had initially pleaded not guilty to a total of 32 charges arising from an investigation by officials from the Dept of Agriculture.

He and his wife, Monica O’Brien had each been charged with 32 offences while their farm manager, Seamus Curran had been charged with 24 offences on after the investigation.

Hopefully they're locked up and not just fined

Looks like he's no stranger to the courts either

A millionaire pig farmer was sentenced to seven days in jail yesterday for assaulting a neighbour who objected to a planned piggery development.

But father of five Rory O'Brien (47) from Killicane, Mitchelstown, Co Cork escaped spending Christmas behind bars when he was given leave to appeal the severity of the sentence.

O'Brien was handed down the jail term after he pleaded guilty to assaulting Patrick Mullins on June 2 last in the gent's toilet of Mitchelstown Golf Club.

Sentenced to 7 days for assault and appealed the severity of the sentence. What a cnut!

RANDOM PIG PUN

Fun fact: If a pig gets a prolapsed anus, it's in danger of being eaten by other pigs.

Glad you can all see the funny side of a commercial farmer treating animals in such a way and then selling them on to you =p

If this was a thread about kids in an estate owning a horse there'd be 3 pages of outrage already with people calling for blood.

Reminds me in the pig farmer I met by chance one day in cavan.

I was up in cavan on business, when I came across a small farm and the farmer was standing at the gate of his field, inside of which stood a pig with only three legs.

We got chatting anyway, usual stuff, GAA, weather, the ups and downs of business, to which I brought up the subject of the pig in the field.

"that's a remarkable pig in the field you have" I said.
"as hi isn't he a beauty " said the farmer.
" not only is that pig a beauty, but it can speak in 2 different languages, and can tell the weather with 99% accuracy " said the farmer.
" are you serious? I don't believe you" I said.

To which the pig in the field snorted "no he's telling the truth, tomorrow is to be sunny with isolated showers" said the pig, then repeated what he had just said in Spanish.

"Jesus, I can't believe that " I said.

" how come he's only 3 legs though" I asked?

"ah now, when you've a cute hoor like that for a pig, ye don't ate him all at once" said the farmer.

Ah stop crying and do something about it then. It's not funny btw but what's done is done. I'm a pig myself and I think it's terrible. He's a fcuking scumbag bogger dickhead that will hopefully get his comeuppance.

Just because we didn't get our pitchforks out for you doesn't lessen the bolloxology that the guy let happen.

I don't want no beef with you. It's disgusting and he should be banned from being allowed to keep any animal for the rest of his life.

No doubt there'll be plenty more "jokes" to follow...pity none will be original.

I hope they lock the bas**** up and throw away the key. However, rich farmer = no punishment.

Those seven days inside will involve him squealing like one of his pigs for some of it.

Interesting re the prolapsed anus, I wonder if the pigs will try and eat ya man after he's let out.
