Prussian Porkers Prevail

We here at Blue Crab Boulevard are sorry to have to report that part of yet another country appears ready to fall to the minions of the Animal Uprising™. This time it is the German state of Lower Saxony. The profusion of porcine Prussian plunderers there now has the pig population outnumbering people. Pity the poor Saxons.

BERLIN - For the first time in 20 years, pigs outnumber people in the state of Lower Saxony, the pig capital of pork-loving Germany. The state farmers' association said Thursday that, as of the end of 2006, the number of swine hit 8.02 million, as good prices led to increased herd numbers.

At the same time, the state's population fell to 7.996 million, after peaking over the 8 million mark in 2004.

Who can blame people for fleeing in terror. How long can it be before the pigs turn the table on the hitherto sausage-loving Germans? How long until the people are going into the sausages instead of the other way around? Consider it a wurst case scenario.
