Pigs in the news

Its been awhile since I've had any porcine related news, but today I dug up not one but TWO piggy items for your pleasure.

First, found an older item from Australia about an abandoned pig who had been terrorizing a small community in South Wales. Dubbed Bruce, the wayward pig had a ravenous appetite and was making one unlucky farmer a virtual prisoner in her own home, getting aggressive when she refused to feed him upwards of 300 avocados a day. The pig was eventually captured -- if you go read the full story, be sure to click the "Pigzilla on the Loose" link to see photos of this monstrous porker.

In related news, Paris Hilton just bought a potbellied pig, and PETA is angry with her. They even call her skeevy, proving once again that they're a serious, tactful organization more concerned with quietly affecting change than using celebrities to get their name in the press.
