Pig takes woman hostage

In Australia, a woman was held hostage in her own home by a pig that was reportedly the size of a Shetland pony. 
It started in the early Tuesday afternoon. Caroline Hayes, 63, awaits in her house as the pig outside breaks into the garage and drags out a king size bed that she has kept stored in there. As the bed is dragged out, the pig, affectionately named, Bruce, tears it into pieces, depositing them all over her yard, making it look like a fantasy war zone of fabric and spring. 
She is perfectly content to stay inside, however, Bruce has started taking over. Clearly not a fan of the decorative mat she had on her door step, he rolls it up perfectly with his nose and pushes it aside. All in all you think he would be content with his new pen. He still wants the inside. 
He goes to the door and attempts to get inside, headbutting it and being exceptionally annoying to the poor woman whom is just trying to get some sleep. Awakened from a tumultuous slumber, she decides she needs to use the toilet. The only problem... It is outside. Not one to surrender, the strong woman goes to the door to push the stubborn Bruce aside and make it to her outside toilet.
It is early morning, after a night of sporadic sleep. She really has to use the bathroom. She stands at the door and begins to struggle it open. She fails. Bruce is on the other side using his 176 pounds of pure pork to keep the door closed. Hayes, acting even more persistence than Bruce, tries again, this time prying the handle of a broom into the face of massive swine in an attempt to scare him away. Bruce takes the handle in his mouth and snaps the broom in half.


After this Hayes promptly called the authorities.


The Rural Lands Protection Board came to Hayes residency and captured the irritated, and extremely hungry, animal.
After all of this you would think that Hayes would harbor some resentment towards the beast. In fact, she is a vegetarian and did not want to see the animal sent to the big pig pen in the sky. So as  requested by her and other animal rights group the sent him to a piggery where he will be a used as a stud.
