And why hasn't the floor been washed?
Take heed all animal lovers, if a big fat pig (snorting variety) comes wandering into your life, think twice before you decide to let him stay. A 63 year old pensioner in Uki, New South Wales, was held captive by a 80kg pushy porker, after she began feeding the stray. At first he was a gentle young soul, lapping up all the attention. But like all pigs, he became more and more demanding. As Bruce (the name she gave him) settled in, Caroline Hayes became a little concerned about his behavior. What started off as a few affectionate nudges here and there developed into full blown pushing. In the end Bruce began head butting her door at ungodly hours of the morning demanding attention. At one stage Mrs Hayes had to lock herself inside her home whilst the rampaging Bruce took his anger out on a broom handle (snapping it in half) before storming off into her garage. There Bruce found a mattress which he pulled out and ripped to shreds just to show her who was boss. After being holed up in her house for several days (unable to use the outside toilet), someone from the Rural Land Protection Board came to Mrs Hayes rescue. Bruce, when caught, will be sending his time at a local piggery,where he will have time to think about his appalling behavior.
UPDATE : I have been informed that Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary is trying to catch the jovial Bruce so that they can find him a wonderful home (good luck).

The media is misreporting this story, as usual. Caroline Hayes describes Bruce as “friendly and jovial”. He was simply too large and overpowering for a woman of her stature. Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary has been trying for days to rescue Bruce, and provide him with a wonderful home. But their effort has been ignored. A lot of people have been emailing the sanctuary concerned about Bruce’s fate. Yet none of this finds it’s way into the media.
