Charlie’s pigs got infected with hog cholera. The government inspector ordered that he cull all his pigs that were in the same pen. This was particularly painful for Charlie as they were mostly spring pigs and hence of considerable worth. However, as the disease strikes suddenly and is so virulent that it was the only course to take. In all he had to kill 150 animals.
