Strange: Pig Kills Butcher At Slaughterhouse

A pig killed a butcher at a Hong Kong slaughterhouse this week.

Police reported that the pig was shocked by the butcher with an electric stun gun but it then unexpectantly awoke and pounced on the butcher.

As the pig attacked the butcher his 15-inch meat cleaver fell on his foot causing massive bleeding which led to him bleeding to death.

In another bizarre, tragic story, a Kansas man was accidentally shot and killed by his dog.

Joseph Smith, 30, was sitting in the front passenger seat of his truck when the dog stepped on his hunting rifle in the backseat.

The bullet struck Smith in the back and killed him instantly, according to reports.

KSN.com reported:

According to the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office, Smith was sitting in the front passenger seat of a pickup. A rifle and hunting gear were in the back seat.

Investigators say a dog belonging to the truck’s owner stepped on the rifle, causing it to discharge. Smith was hit in the back.

Responding units arrived within minutes and tried to revive him, but he died at the scene.

Police won't disclose whether the truck was moving during the shooting or if anyone else was inside the vehicle.

Smith's employer, 'Browns Plumbing,' started a GoFundMe page to help with funeral and memorial costs.

From the GoFundMe page:

Joe is absolutely the most unique individual I have had the pleasure of meeting. He was loved by all of us from all walks of life and loved the same. He made us laugh every morning whether it was at him or because of him he always made sure to be a positive light at my company. No matter how bad or stressful my or our day was, Joe always had something to lift our spirits. I have been a plumber for a long time and met many many different guys but never have I met another Joe and I am confident there may not be another.
If you were lucky enough to know, be a friend or family of Joe, you understand what a great loss this is to the world. We must all learn to navigate without him in it.
Jessica, a beloved friend and co-worker, wrote:
“Joseph Smith was a truly amazing man. He was kind, funny, smart, and very loving. Every time he walked through the door, he would make someone smile. Either from being a goofball or just his natural presence making everything better. It wasn't hard to love Joe because he always made you feel like you were one of a kind and never left a conversation without letting you know he loved you. Joe is going to be dearly missed by so many. He was a great friend, employee, cousin, brother, son, and dog owner. We have loved and lost one of the best. Rest in Peace Joseph.”
