"They will go through bone like butter!"



BBC: A north Wales farmer is recovering in hospital after he was mauled by a 47-stone (298 kg) pig. Geraint Roberts, 49, was trying to move the Landrace boar into its pen in Brynsiencyn, when it attacked him. The pig pinned him against a tractor and bit him on the legs, back and left arm. One bite nearly severed an artery. The farmer's wife Nerys stopped the attack by turning a hose on the pig. Mr Roberts has undergone seven hours of surgery at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor.
