Large pushy pig traps Australian


A woman on the north coast of New South Wales in Australia is being held hostage in her own home by a large pig, Australian media report.

Uki woman Caroline Hayes, 63, says the pig is as big as "a Shetland pony" and that she cannot get out of her house because of its aggressive behaviour.

"It started knocking on my door at 4 am, head-butting the door, [after] some food," she told ABC television.

When she opened the door, she said, the pig pushed her back inside the house.

The offending animal, whom neighbours have named Bruce, also pulled a king-sized mattress out of her garage and ripped it up.

Ms Hayes, who describes herself as an animal-loving vegetarian, admits she and some of her neighbours had begun feeding Bruce.

Rangers from Murwillumbah Council tried to catch the large animal but the cage was too small.

Animal ranger Len Hing, who visited the scene, explained that Bruce's large size makes him difficult to control when hungry.

"He is a bald pig [weighing] about 80 kilos [176lb]," he said.

"I wouldn't like to see the pig go as a pet anywhere because he could become a potentially dangerous animal."

Rangers say the pig will be captured and taken to a piggery.

Oh, 'something' was rubbed alright....not sure it was a lamp...

No way would you ever catch me eating wild pig meat in Australia. Far too many parasites for my comfort!

BTW - we still have guns, you just have to get a licence to own one; you can have them for hunting, range shooting and animal/farm work; you have to prove you can be safe and responsible with it. So, no hand guns except at the pistol range, shot guns/rifles for hunting and/or farm work have to be kept in a locked gun cabinet, and you can't own guns that are designed to be used on people (i.e. you don't get an assault rifle!) I theoretically own three guns myself (theoretically, because they are at my step-mother's house as she has the security and I don't. Used to be my Dad's.)

I think all pork has parasites in the meat. That's why your not supposed to ever eat pork cooked rare.

Pigs tend to have a lot of the same parasite we have, which is why you should be careful to cook the meat well (although farm raised pigs get fairly heftily dosed, so not so much of an issue).

I've been pig hunting in Australia - never want to do it again! Razorbacks are fucking nasty. And butchering the thing afterwards for burial - fucking thing was FULL of liver flukes. Only time I've actually puked while skinning/butchering an animal. Still makes me sick to think about it.

I'm assuming it's a football team? In my experience, Razorbacks are big, tough, aggessive, scary, mean and fast. Fits the team? Don't think I'd like a bunch of gridiron players running at me full tilt any more than I enjoyed having a 150kg feral pig running at me!

It is a football team. I am also from Arkansas. The funniest part of the game is watching the rabid fans. They put plastic pig noses on, paint themselves red, and yell "Soooooooooie" with gusto and pride. I have only attended one game, but the audience is funnier than the game!
