Wild pigs eyed as source of E. coli spinach

It's bullshit, not pig shit that's causing the ruckus! And so is this bit of an attempt at a cover up - note the "expert" nearly admits as much:

"The pigs could have tracked the bacteria into the field or spread it through their droppings ..."

Which is to say, they could have tracked it from the "ranch" - more likely a feedlot - next door. So it's the pigs "fault". Shoot the wild boars!

What a crock! Literally. What kinda shit you want on that salad?

Wild pigs may have spread deadly bacteria onto a California spinach field, sparking an outbreak that killed three people and sickened more than 200 others nationwide, investigators said Thursday. They also said the outbreak appears to be over.
