yes, in your backyard

A dumpster outside a barn, piled high with dead pigs

Yes, that is what you think it is – dead pigs in a dumpster. I took the photo earlier this year. The farm is about 10 minutes from town. Eat Local, everyone!

Okay, enough with the bitter sarcasm. Seriously, since this photo was taken I’ve seen the same dumpster fill up with dead animals again, twice (and this road is not one I frequent too often). This is the stuff we sometimes hear about but nobody wants to believe – or at least believe it happens at home.
