A family of pigs living in Biosphere 2 fell victim to their own large appetites and became pork roast.
The two pigs - which were from Georgia - and the seven piglets they had while in the Biosphere turned out to be too hard to feed. They ended up on the dinner table."We killed them," Abigail Alling of Biosphere told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We hated to do it, but they just ate too much. So they became holiday dinners."
The two-year Biosphere exper-iment in enclosed living ends Sunday. The pigs had been living in the 3.1-acre steel and glass enclosure in the Arizona desert with eight humans and 3,800 other species.

The pigs' mission was to eat garbage and create fertilizer.
