A farm pig went on a thrilling trip in the city in New Taipei, after leaping and escaping from a truck that was headed to the slaughterhouse. At first the pig didn’t know what to do and almost got run over by a vehicle, but it gradually found its footing and ended up finding a pleasant place to chow down on weeds. Police were dispatched to the site to keep the pig under watch, but it wasn’t all smooth. Though at first things seemed to be going well, the pig ended bolting free once again, resulting in a funny squabble.

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Come down! Come down!

A cornered pig tied with a plastic string was peacefully munching grass under the watch of police officers when…

OK! OK!
Hey! Hey!
No! No! No! No!

They try to stop the pig from breaking free and reach for a thicker rope.

Aaagh!
Rope! Rope!

They moved fencing pieces to block the pig’s line of sight, leaving it nowhere to run.

I was thinking I could grab it.
It wouldn’t work.
I was trying to pull it back.

It was the first time for the officers to capture a pig, just as if it were a suspect. Pinning it down took considerable effort, but it all worked out.

Piggy! We’re not going to hurt you. Piggy!

The incident took place in Sanxia, at the Beida Special District in New Taipei. It is thought that the pig wasn’t secured properly on the truck, causing it to fall to the ground. It was initially calm, roaming leisurely and munching on weeds. But it suddenly bolted and ran amok, nearly getting run over.

Did you see a pig running?
It was a pig for slaughter. It fell of the truck onto the middle of the road, and it almost got run over. I shooed it to the pavement.

Police officer
It suddenly charged forward. While it was grazing on the grass, we tied it with a rope and tried to soothe it, to prevent injuries and to ensure the safety of road users.

New Taipei City’s Animal Protection Office says it seems that inadequate safety measures during transport led to the pig’s escape. As such, a fine of up to NT$15,000 may be imposed in accordance with the Animal Protection Act.
