Remains of Spanish man found 20 years later. Where?

The remains of a Spanish man have been found in his house more than 20 years after he was last seen.

Nobody in the Spanish village of Canizal had seen Vicente Benito for two decades, although the 520 residents thought that he had moved to Portugal, or work as a shepherd in another part of the world.

The discovery was only made after one of Benito's nephews broke into his house to see what happened to his uncle, according to the local newspaper.

Police found that the only coins and banknotes in his house were pesetas, suggesting he died well before the introduction of the euro a decade ago.

"We think he was last seen at least 15 years ago, but no one is sure," the mayor, Miguel Angel Herrero, said, according to the Guardian.

"He had stopped talking to his siblings and went to work as a shepherd. He was always off somewhere, so it didn't occur to people that he might still be in the village." - The Telegraph

Want to produce a 'better pork'? This is how they do it in China

Happy pigs!

A group of lucky pigs in China are enjoying a comfortable living after being moved into their own bespoke villas in a bid to produce better tasting pork.

Government advisers decided on the drastic action after concluding that happier pigs would also mean they were healthier and of better quality too. More used to living in an absolute pig sty, the playful pigs' mood quickly brightened in their new surroundings in Weiji, Suining, which has been dubbed China's first pig village.

The 600 pigs are also given toys to play with and allowed to roam in the woods every day from 8am to 5pm, seven days a week. Despite initial scepticism over the decision to move the pigs from their industrial pens to the £800 luxury villas, agricultural officer Hu Juchun believes it has now been justified.

'A good environment will leave pigs in a good mood and keep them healthy, and its therefore logical that the pork will be better,' he said.

'As well as better pork we are getting income from tourists who come to see the pig village, and in any case pigs are clever animals - it is not kind to keep them in a small pen all their lives.'

Hu added that there were now plans to open up a further 2,500 more villas across the 2,000 hectares of woodland available. - Metro UK
