I’m not in the mood for “the other white meat” after reading Yahoo! News – Meat from Farm May Have Had Human Remains:
Pork products processed and distributed from the farm of accused Canadian serial killer Robert Pickton may have contained human remains, police and health officials said on Wednesday.Pickton raised and slaughtered pigs at the Port Coquitlam farm as a part-time occupation until his arrest at the property in February 2002, and police believe he gave or sold processed meat products to friends and acquaintances.
Pickton, 53, is awaiting trial in the killings of at least 22 of more than 60 missing Vancouver prostitutes who disappeared over the past decade and are feared to have been murdered at the dilapidated farm 20 miles east of Vancouver.
I love the way the government representative frames it:
“Given the state of the farm, and what we know about the investigation, we cannot rule out the possibility that cross-contamination may have occurred,” B.C. provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall told reporters in Victoria.
We cannot rule out the possibility that cross-contamination may have occurred.
Officials stressed that the farm’s pig slaughtering operation was not officially licensed and he did not sell processed meat to retail outlets
Well, that‘s good news.
