Aw shucks....here I thought it had rained in D.C.

Pigs evacuated from flood: 900 animals moved to safety - BBC News

Doggone BBC with a misleading headline.

Never mind. Story is NOT about the "Million Mamma March".....

"About 900 pigs have been rescued from a flood at a pig farm............"

"North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service tweeted at 11:36 that 900 pigs were trapped by water at Keldholme Piggery near Pickering."

"The fire service said four pumps and three fire crews were pumping water away from the animals."

"The trapped animals have been moved into evacuation pens away from rising water."

So the pigs are refugees?
Send them to an Islamic country.

Semi-Related - the latest conspiracy theory spreading around is that the supposed "Bacon shortage" is because of Muslims. To which I say, duuuudeeee don't fuck with the bacon, bad move.

(In other news, we have a butcher and get our bacon straight from their family farm. )

Pigs are pretty good swimmers.

Blubber floats not sinks.
