pigs

Witnesses described the disturbing scene on the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge Tuesday night when nearly 30 pigs fell from a trailer and were struck by passing cars.

It was an interesting day at the Super 1 in Scott after a large group of pigs got loose from their livestock trailer on Wednesday (Feb. 8).

This is definitely not the type of pork you are used to seeing at the grocery store.

Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center would like you to meet Peppa.

Remember back in July, that fast fast little runaway pig in New Iberia everyone was trying to catch? Many people tried to catch him, but he was quite a slippery fella. Well, KATC reports he's doing just fine these days. He doing better than fine actually. He's got a new home and a new loving family.

We all have that one friend that steals our beer and then wants to fight. It happens in nature just as it does in the alleged civilized existence of humans.

There will probably never be a time when you'll need to know how to do this, but, wouldn't it be a fun farm trick to show all your friends next time there's a pig around?

This pig has a case of "the zoomies". It's not uncommon among animals but in this case it's really darn cute.

Wild pigs are becoming an even bigger problem for agriculture producers throughout the state.

I must admit I am intrigued and slightly disgusted at the same time. I know if we judged food by what it was down in South Louisiana we would starve and miss out on some great treats. I just don't know if I am Cajun brave enough yet.

Not sure what's going on here. Is this a joke, or a threat? Deputies are investigating why a pig's head was placed on the hood of a vehicle at the Lafayette Regional Airport yesterday. Is this the work of some Cajun Godfather?  

There is a lesson in basic kindness in this video. I think we all need to be reminded that even though we might look a little different on the outside, it is what is inside that really matters.

Some thieves in Minnesota are bringing home the bacon, literally! For the third time in the past month, a large amount of pigs were stolen from a southern Minnesota farm. Ryan Bode's Nicollet County farm had 150 swines stolen, valued at $30,000. Bode says the thieves cut the netting on the windows of the shed, entered the barn, then opened the door from the inside.
