While we are on this case, the most disturbing part of the story we heard was the issue of the destruction of the pigs, and that the bolt gun was used at the start but it stopped working and we were informed a Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine official handed the farmer a lump hammer and told him to finish the job. Did that happen?
