An escaped pet pig named Kevin Bacon is becoming an internet sensation.
Kevin Bacon — the pig, not the actor — escaped from his barn in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on Oct. 14. His family's efforts to capture him since then are unfolding on Facebook.
This 200-pound pet pig from Gettysburg, aptly named after actor Kevin Bacon, has led his owners and neighbors on a comical chase for nearly two weeks since he escaped from his barn. And he's developing a national following for his hijinks while evading capture.
Some clueless hobby farm folks down the road from one of my rural worksites owned a pot bellied pig that ran loose all the time. It would show up at our office squealing for attention. At first it would seem friendly and lure you into a sense of false security, but proceed to get enraged about something and start biting the very people it wanted attention from. It was vicious and a threat, particularly to the neighborhood's children but its owners refused to keep it from wandering. A pig can do serious damage. Another neighbor who'd been knocked down or bitten multiple times finally shot it, dragged it home behind his truck, and left it on their doorstep.
Sure, I know they're clever, but I've never found domestic pigs of any age or breed all that endearing myself. I think breeding/genetic manipulation by their human keepers has done them a huge disservice.
