MOTHER PIG'S RAW DEAL Having given birth to 19 little piglets, it's no wonder mother pig has passed out - although this may be more down to the excruciating pain she must be experiencing in her red-raw teats. The female pig weighing 200 kilograms gave birth to her 19-strong brood last week (ends22Feb08) at a farm in China's Liaoning Province. Pushing out 19 piglets in one go must have been a painful enough experience - but the blood oozing from her over-used teats suggests her suffering is far from over. And it's not as if the piglets are able to sympathise with their mother's condition - the hungry terrors are far too concerned with filling up their tummies to stop sucking.
