Pig in a Pokey (Updated) 0
The Ridley, Pa., police have kidnapped a pet pot-bellied pig who wandered away and won’t tell anyone where he is because, in their minds, he’s a farm animal.
They have porked him in a hiding place.
I fear the sty in their eye prevents them from behaving other than pettishly.
One could say that this swine flew the coop.
Afterthought:
This is silly and stupid (and I’m not referring to my post). Also cruel.
A six-pound pig that lives indoors and uses a litter box is no more a farm animal than a pet rabbit is a wild beast.
Addendum, Two Days Later:
The pig is out of stir and no longer in danger of stir-fry:
As officials clammed up, the “Where is Steve?” rallying cry was quickly getting attention on Facebook, and a friend of Maguire’s and Broadhurst’s started printing T-shirts with the slogan.
Apparently, the pressure was too much for Ridley officials.
And little Steve made it wee, wee, wee, all the way home.
