| Communist militants attack pigs in Mindanao |
| 2013-10-31 |
| Communist militants have turned their fury on hundreds of pigs at a farm in the southern Philippines. About 50 fighters of the New People's Army (NPA) attacked the pig farm in the town of Libona on Mindanao, said local military spokesman Captain Christian Uy. Uy said they set fire to a feed storehouse then attacked the area where about 560 pigs were kept. He said, "They burned some pigs and hacked others to death. About 50 pigs were killed while the rest were injured and are now being treated by veterinarians." The spokesman said the attack may have been prompted by the farm's failure to meet extortion demands by the militants. He said, "They saw that the assets of the company are the live pigs so that is what they tried to destroy." |
