A pig turned the tables on a Sheung Shui, Hong Kong, butcher on Friday, killing him as he prepared to slaughter and chop up the hog. The 61-year-old butcher at the Sheung Shui slaughterhouse died after a persistent pig pushed him to the ground, causing the 15-inch meat cleaver he intended to kill the animal with to slice the man’s left foot. The butcher, identified as Cai, had previously stunned the stubborn swine with a stun gun, but it woke up and knocked him down, according to Hong Kong outlet hk01. We will take actions pursuant to the law if there is any violation of the work safety legislation,” a department spokesperson said, according to CNN. No reports stated what happened to the pig following the incident, the New York Post noted.
