Cambodian pigs make headlines with genetic horror story

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

This is how Cambodia is being portrayed by the British tabloid with a story from this social media page :
Image
Image
This shocking footage reveals the mutant 'double-muscled' pigs being bread by a farmer in Cambodia. The terrifying creatures are thought to be the result of genetic breeding.
Some of the super-sized animals have enormous testicles while others are barely able to walk because of their muscles.
Image
Videos and images of the freakish pigs have gone viral after being posted on Facebook.
The page is called Duroc Cambodia, referring to a common breed of domestic pig which originated in the US.

But the farmer, thought to be based in Banteay Meanchey province, appears proud of his stock.
He has been sharing regular updates on the pigs' progress since last December.

The page offers two lots of pig semen and two artificial penises for for just £5.

Serve it with bread and you've got yourself a hipster's deconstructed pulled pork roll.

A quick scroll down to the section on cattle reveals that the 40% increase in muscle mass is negated by their requirement of a more expensive diet to achieve this increase. This will probably be the same for pigs.

Pig breeders, and those who know about their testes, is this the normal size or not ?

What about the farmer who bred the 3 legged chickens for more meat. No bloody good, ran too fast to catch them.
