“Two brothers…woke up early Saturday morning to slaughter one of their pigs, say police. The older brother had the .22 caliber rifle, while his younger brother, a man in his late 20s, stood by. When the older brother put the gun to the pig and fired, police say the pig bucked back.” The ham sack bucked hard enough to knock the brother with the gun off balance, causing him to fire the gun again, this time hitting his brother in the face. sacramento.cbslocal.com says he’s in critical condition and family and police are convinced it was just a bizarre accident. I’m no animal husbandry expert and I’ve never shot anything with a face. But if I wanted to humanely put down a pork dinner, I don’t think a .22 would be my choice. Here’s hoping for a full recovery.
