Mekong Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 A pig named Bruce held an elderly woman hostage in her home in eastern Australia after she befriended the juvenile swine, which is the size of a Shetland pony. The domesticated hog ran amok on Caroline Hayesâ??s property at Uki in a regional area of northern NSW after wandering in from an adjacent rainforest where it had been left to live in the wild by its previous owners a few weeks ago. Ms Hayes, 63, said she began feeding Bruce 10 days ago when he first arrived at her property after taking a shine to her 70-year-old neighbourâ??s garden. The pensioner fed the year-old pig fruit from the local markets and he had been living a relatively happy co-existence with other animals on her property, including her pet dog and horse along with various other wildlife including wallabies, goannas and snakes. Ms Hayes had even nursed Bruce back from ill health, putting cream onto his infected eye. â??When I first saw it, it had 15 ticks in its eyes which I actually took out with tweezers," she told Times Online. But by 4am (AEST) on Monday their friendship had soured when Bruce â?? a white boar pig weighing approximately 175 pounds (80kg) â?? began ramming Ms Hayesâ??s bedroom door, grunting loudly and demanding to be fed. He became so aggressive that the pensioner could not leave her bedroom in order to go to the outside toilet. ..... Full Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
