 A
pig the size of a Shetland pony has trapped an Australian
woman in her village home, the national broadcaster reported
Tuesday. Caroline Hayes, 63, has tried leave her house in Uki
in northern New South Wales to use the outdoor toilet but
says
the animal has bitten her and shoved her back inside. "It's a
beautiful male pig but he's just so big and so pushy," she
told
the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Rangers from the
local Murwillumbah Council tried to rescue her but could not
capture the huge animal."The rangers came out to my house
yesterday with a dog cage and this
with it and he snapped it in half with his mouth." |
 pig
is that big, it's like
trying to put an elephant in a dog cage,"
she said."They tried for a little while
and they couldn't do it. They got him
halfway in and he just backed off and went
back to my dam, where he was having a
lovely time in the water." Hayes said she
and her neighbours began feeding the pig,
whom they named Bruce, when it showed up
at their homes 10 days ago after its
owners could not handle it and let it
loose in the rainforest. But it became
aggressive, demanding more food and
biting her on the leg when she tried to go
to the toilet. "It started getting very
pushy, started pushing me around, so I
started to get a bit frightened, until the
stage that it started knocking on my door
at four o'clock in the morning, actually
head-butting my door," she said. "This
morning, I wanted to go to my toilet,
which is outside. I opened up the door and
the
pig pushed me that hard, it pushed me back
into my room, where I fell over," she
said. "I picked up a broom and poked him
out. |
