Near Leeds, about 75 square pounds of land caught fire on a farm after copper in a pedometer mounted on a pig reacted with manure and dry hay.
The incident occurred on a farm in Bramham, UK. The gadget came out naturally with feces, but when its batteries came in contact with pig manure and dry hay, a fire broke out in the barn.
Omnivore of pigs is a common fact. There are known cases in judicial practice of the Middle Ages, when street pigs made their way into open houses and ate Malanets. The caught pig criminals were tried according to all legal procedures - interviewing witnesses, discussing the crime, torture, sentencing and subsequent execution.
A pedometer was used by a farmer to prove that animals can roam freely around the farm. The fire affected four pig farms over an area of 75 square feet, but, fortunately, none of the animals were injured.
