10 Most Disturbing Moments In The Walking Dead
7. Rick Sacrifices The Piglets
The zombie apocalypse was never meant for animal lovers.
After a few months in the prison, the survivors seemed to be thriving behind the barbed-wire fences. With a vegetable plot, running water from a nearby stream and a pig-pen for meat and dairy products, they looked to have made it.
That's before a mysterious illness struck, killing some of the residents of the prison with no available cure at hand.
Before this deadly virus broke out, teams of survivors had managed to keep the fences relatively clear of walkers, but with all hands on other decks, the problem was left to grow until it reached the point that certain sections faced total collapse.
Rick had to lead the walkers away and saw his solution was very close by.
The group had deduced that the pigs were susceptible to the illness, or were maybe even the cause. Either way, they had to go.
Rick and Daryl loaded the piglets onto the back of a truck and drove out of the prison. Rick then severed all of the piglet's femoral arteries and left them squealing on the ground to distract the walkers.
No piglets were harmed in the making of this episode, but those squeals will be enough to make anyone's stomach churn.
