FullFacts/WholeTruth Er, another great visonary Eric Blair (not BLiar) George Orwell's "Animal Farm", 1945.

" ..Major, the old boar on the Manor Farm, calls the animals on the farm for a meeting, where he compares the humans to parasites and teaches the animals a revolutionary song, 'Beasts of England'. When Major dies, two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, assume command and turn his dream into a philosophy. The animals revolt and drive the drunken and irresponsible Mr Jones from the farm, renaming it "Animal Farm". They adopt Seven Commandments of Animal-ism, the most important of which is, 'All animals are equal' ."

US farmer eaten by his hogs

US authorities are investigating how a US farmer was eaten by his hogs.
The district attorney's office says 70-year-old Terry Vance Garner never returned after he set out to feed his animals on Wednesday on his farm near the Oregon coast.

A family member later found Garner's dentures and pieces of his body in the hog enclosure, but most of his remains had been consumed.
The district attorney's office said in a statement on Monday that it's possible Garner had a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, or was knocked over by the animals before he was killed. But criminal activity has not been ruled out.
Authorities estimate the hogs weigh 320kg. The DA's office says one hog had either bitten or been aggressive with Garner previously.

It reminded me of Winston Churchill:

"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."
