I'm reminded of an episode of the SciFi movie
Serenity in which the guvmint of a planet, to
help keep the population calm and stressfree,
started putting a tranquilizer in the water
supply. It worked so well that most of the 
population just lay down where they were
and stayed there until they died. It's
interesting that the scientists don't see
that possibility in the pigs.
