Between 950 and 1,000 dead pigs were found Monday on a Fulton County farm where they had apparently been abandoned months ago to die of starvation.
The real estate agent had been to the property 3 weeks prior to the discovery by authorities and failed to notice, or did not find the situation unusual. Without notifying anyone, she put the property up for sale for $1.2 millon dollars. She was later quoted as saying it was very "normal" in farming operations.

On Tuesday, the 218-acre farm was listed for sale at a price of $1.2 million by Realtor Rebecca A. Glesner of Long and Foster Real Estate. According to the online listing, the farm includes two hog finishing barns, grain silos and a 1900s farmhouse that "needs work."
Glesner said she recently visited the property, which has been on the market for about three weeks, and did not see any carcasses while she was there. She said she is not concerned about how hundreds of dead hogs might affect the property's salability.
"I think this is very normal in a lot of farming operations, that you're going to have dead animals," she said.
We don't think 100 dead animals is "normal"
