Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

Mason had a strange upbringing, perfectly attuned to the life his father envisioned for him and the job at hand.The boarding school he attended as a child received a large donation from his father, so his absences were often excused.Verger the Elder sometimes gave him a real upbringing for weeks at a time, taking the child to the strongholds of his fortune: the corrals and slaughterhouses. Molson Verger was a trailblazer in many aspects of livestock production, especially in that of economy; his experiments in the question of fodder were comparable to those of Bartohan fifty years earlier.Molson Verger mixed crushed pig feathers, chicken feathers, and manure into pig feed in proportions that were considered audacious at the time. In the 1940s he was seen as a desperate visionary.He was the first to cancel the pig's clean drinking water and replace it with fermented animal manure water in the ditch, but he fattened the pig and the profits rolled in.The jeers died away, and competitors hurried to follow suit.

But Molson Verger's leadership in the meat canning industry did not end there.Strictly on the side of thrift, he fought heroically against the Humane Slaughter Act out of his own pocket.He wielded the law to preserve his dignity, despite spending a fortune in legislative compensation.He had Mason watch him over a long period of time overseeing large-scale pen experiments to see how long animals could be deprived of food and water before slaughter without causing them to visibly lose weight. Research in experimental genetics solved the problem of doubling the lean mass of Belgian pigs without pigs losing weight, a problem that troubled the Belgians with funding from the Verger family.Molson Verger buys breeding pigs all over the world and sponsors many research projects on livestock breeding abroad.

But the business of slaughter is a human business, and no one understood it better than Molson Verger.He always intimidated union leaders when they tried to encroach on his interests with demands for wages and safety.In this regard, his 30-year ties to organized crime have served him well. Mason looked a lot like his father then, with light blue butcher's eyes under bright black brows.The low hairline slopes down from right to left, sweeping across the forehead.Molson Weir loves the calf deeply, and sometimes he likes to hold his son's face in his hands and stroke it, as if confirming his son's paternal lineage through phrenology, just as stroking a pig's face can determine its genetics through the structure of facial bones same factor.

Mason was a master at exercising sound judgment in business even after he was bedridden with an injury, and then calling his favor to execute it.It was this little Mason who had the idea that the U.S. government and the United Nations had Haitians slaughter all of their local pigs, citing the swine flu threat in Africa.In this way, he can sell his American large white pigs to the Haitian government to replace the local pigs in Haiti.But his sleek big white pig died immediately when it entered the Haitian environment, and the Haitians had to buy Mason's pigs again and again.In the end they had to replace his pigs with the robust little arched soil pigs from the Dominican Republic.

Now, armed with a lifetime of knowledge and experience, Mason felt as if he had come to the luthier to build his revenge machine. What a wealth of information and sources of information lie in Mason's faceless skull!Lying in bed, he remembered, like a deaf Beethoven composing music in his mind, the scene of checking the competition at the pig market with his father.Molson's silver knife could be drawn from his coat pocket at any time and plunge into the pig's back to see its fatness and leave that angry scream.He always has a serious face, and no one will question him, and when he puts his hand back into his pocket, he still marks the knife edge with his thumb.

Mason thought of a 4-H race pig his father had impaled, and if he had lips he would have laughed now.The pig thought that all humans were its friends.The owner of the pig was a child who burst into tears.His father came running in a rage, but Molson's thugs took him outside the tent.Ah, what a wonderful time he had been, what fun! Mason has seen all kinds of strange pigs from all over the world at the pig market, and now he has got the best pigs he has ever seen for his new purpose. After that Epiphany, which occurs at Christmas, Mason started his breeding program.The program was concentrated on a small breeding farm in Sardinia.It was the breeding ground of the Vergers, on the Italian side of the coast.He chose the location, partly because of its remoteness, and partly because of its easy access to the rest of Europe.

Mason believed that Dr. Lecter's first stop after fleeing the United States was South America, and he guessed right.But he had always been convinced that a man as elegant as Dr. Lecter would settle in Europe.He arranges eyeliner at annual music festivals and other major cultural events. Here's the death scene Mason had his breeder in Sardinia prepare for Dr. Lecter: The giant jungle pig, Latin name Hylochoerus meinertzhageni, has 6 udders and 38 chromosomes. It is a human-like opportunistic omnivore that can eat anything.This pig of the genus Highlander is two meters long and weighs 275 kg.Jungle Giant Pig is Mason's base bass.

The traditional European wild boar, Latin name S.scrofa scrofa, purebred has 36 chromosomes, has no pimples on the face, is covered with manes, has large shackle teeth suitable for tearing, and has sharp hooves that can trample poisonous snakes to death. Eat it like a bauble.It can attack any threat when it is excited, in heat, or when it is protecting Xiaosi.Sows have 12 udders and are good mothers.Mason found the main theme in S. scrofa scrofa.The appearance of this pig is suitable to provide Dr. Lecter with a final horrible impression of being eaten (see Harris on Pigs, 1881 for details).

He also bought Osab Island pigs because they are aggressive, and Jiaxing black pigs because they are high in estradiol. He imported from eastern Indonesia, Babyrousa babyrussa, known as "pig deer".But the information is incorrect, and the length of the fangs has been exaggerated.This kind of pig has a long breeding period and only one pair of udders.Too much money for its 100kg weight.He wasted no time, as there are many other similar pig breeds besides the balub. As far as dentition development is concerned, Mason doesn't need to make much selection on breed.Almost every species has teeth that are suitable for the task, three pairs of sharp incisors, a pair of long tusks, four pairs of premolars and three pairs of crushing molars, one row above and one below, a total of 44.

All pigs eat the dead, but it takes training to make it eat the living.It would be best to leave the matter to Mason's people in Sardinia. Now, after 7 years of hard work and a lot of waste, the result is... amazing.
