Sorry.

Well, if it's something contagious, a lot of people would be quite disappointed this year :p :)

Oh well. The pig has been delivered to the butcher; the wife has been crying about it all day long.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Yes, children. That's how you grow up big and strong. You eat meat from an animal that has died from an unknown cause. :roll:
What if this would have happened slightly different?

Say that they killed him to eat, and it turns out that he would've died the next day.

Then what?

Even if it had a virus, it is extremely rare that the virus could cross the species barrier. If it were a bacterial illness the bacteria would be killed after cooking the turkey.

Thank you for your input Dr. ILikeSprite.
