My Nan told me when I was younger that her friend's husband looked after the pigs at our local zoo and that one day after work he didn't come home - they found him the next morning half-eaten, by the pigs! I believed this until I started university and called my Nan in front of my friends who disbelieved me...it wasn't true! All those years of being scared of pigs wasted...
