OAKLAND, Maine (AP) — Police in the Maine town of Oakland say a pig that menaced two children walking through the woods has scared another passer-by.
They’ve now closed the walking trail near two schools where the pig has been seen. Police said the pigconfronted the children walking along the trail last week and was “screaming at the kids and chasing them.”
The Morning Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/1p2INAI ) that following that scare, a woman took refuge on the side rail of a wooden bridge on Monday after seeing the 80-pound black-and-white pig. She wasn’t attacked.
Police searched for the pig but found only tracks. They are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the school district and animal control officers to capture the pig.
The town wants to reunite the pig with its owner, who doesn’t face charges.

I believe if you follow the trail, you will find the pig sipping daiquiris at Stephen King’s house.
Give me a fricking break. They must have nothing to do there in Maine. Leave the pig alone. Well I should have read to the bottom. Apparently they are trying to unite the pig with its owners.
Pigs can be very dangerous,
I hope it is found and returned to its pen ASAP before a tragedy occurs.
Also, feral pigs are a serious environmental problem.
I could have sworn Sarah weighed more than that. Maybe the lipstick made her look heavier.
