New Zealand - ‘Sow’s’ diet saved him
Print Edition
Well before his incredible tale of survival in a 13-month Pacific odyssey, fellow Mexican fishermen say Jose Salvador Alvarenga consumed the very things he claims saved him: raw fish and turtle blood.
But a young man who accompanied him on the shark fishing trip in late 2012 died, and the victim’s family wants Alvarenga to return to Mexico to explain what happened.
Fishermen in Chocohuital, a village in the southern state of Chiapas, remembered Alvarenga as a good man with a quirky diet that they say gives credence to his amazing story. The man they knew as “La Chancha,” or sow, would gobble up anything, including dog food.
