New statistics on the number of slaughtered pigs in Spain have stirred fears in the country's media that pigs may soon outnumber the human population and end up hogging local resources.
The Ministry of Environment released figures this week saying Spain had slaughtered 50 million pigs last year - 3.5m more than the country's population.
The rapid growth of pig farming may have lead to this strange issue of porkers possibly taking over the population.
