I'm sort of amazed we can even buy things like knives, chainsaws, lawnmowers,
cars etc. these days!  Seems to me that a pig is just a hunk of metal, and
can't hurt you unless it falls off the truck on you, or you do something
completely insane like hook it up backwards and fry yourself. ;)  I don't see
how either could be the seller's fault, but suppose there has been litigation
that says otherwise.  I'll bet I could figure out some good ways to hurt myself
with a lawnmower or chainsaw too.  Hmmmm...now what can we do with sharpened
spinning metal blades. :O

I don't mean to make light of the dangers of pole pigs.  Please do be _very_
careful!!!

Check.  I FedEx'd to expedite things.  They sent the pigs out the day after
receiving it.
