And Then They'll Go Have Bacon On Their Cheeseburgers

The Internet is a magnet for well-meaning but horribly ill-informed and ultimately unhinged people. Take the folks who responded to a farm putting a piglet up for adoption on Facebook with threats from all around the world to destroy the farm, because they think that the piglet is being ripped away from its mother. Here's the thing: 1) The farm says it's a sustainable, humane farm, and 2) the piglet's the runt of the litter, which means that it's unable to compete for food with the rest of the piglets. The people who are complaining know nothing about that, nothing about farming, but everything about knee-jerk emotional reactions. And Facebook, so far, is content to allow the threats to stay posted. (KATU-TV/Portland)
