Between 950 and 1,000 dead pigs were found Monday on a Fulton County farm where they had apparently been abandoned months ago to die of starvation. Humane Society Police Officer Dennis Bumbaugh said he has never seen anything like it before. He said the incident may be the largest of its kind in Pennsylvania's history.
"I was horrified when I opened the door and saw what I saw," he said during a phone interview Tuesday.
Bumbaugh was on his way to the Union Township farm of Daniel and Kerron Clark to begin counting the carcasses and assessing the evidence. The carcasses were reported to authorities by Kerron Clark on Monday, and Bumbaugh responded to the Harmon Lane property for an initial look at the situation.
"All I know at this point is that I'm dealing with a heck of a lot of dead animals," he said.
The Clarks had separated in recent years, and Daniel Clark reportedly left the farm for the last time in August, Bumbaugh said. Based on the level of their decomposition, he estimates the pigs died sometime "in the last several months."
Kerron Clark had not been to the farm since 2008, he said. She recently acquired the property, and has been completely cooperative with authorities.
"This lady is devastated," Bumbaugh said.

Wow, this guy seems like a real genius. So he just let >$100,000 worth of pigs die? Why didn't he just sell them, along with the farm for a million dollars or so if he had no interest in taking care of it anymore.
 
This guy needs to be punished. Not only did he cause suffering for no reason, he also endangered any people in the area with all that rotting animal.

I'd imaging that's a huge public health hazard.
 
Hahaha, I never expected to see this here. That's my local paper and that farm is in the county right beside mine. It was front page news in the Public Opinion yesterday I think, hadn't read it yet.

But yea, it's fucked. A lot of waste and a lot of suffering.

both of these ^ what a waste

btw that place is like my dream retirement rofl
 
Is there a possibility that the guy went out for a pack of smokes, and drove off a bridge? I'm thinking he's dead, I don't know.
I only skimmed the article but it made it sound like no one knows his whereabouts.

Also... pigs get cannibalistic when they're starving, no? Fuck that would be nasty. Huge barn full of half dead pigs eating dead pigs. :vomit:
 
How can you blame the guy? His wife left him and probably was fighting for the farm. The only form of retaliation he had was to screw his wife over. Why do divorce courts always favor women? Discrimination at its finest. Liberals hate men.

He and his wife are separated, and she recently got control of the property. My guess is he's pissed to the point of stupidity and let them all die rather than let her get them.
