After numerous complaints of mischief in the city of Aurora, a 400lb (181kg) culprit has finally been caught loitering outside a shopping centre.
Officials say Fred, who dodged them for several days, is "always hungry" and "loves his belly scratches".
Aurora Animal Services knew they were looking for a pig, they were surprised at just how big he was.
It took about eight people and five hours to capture him. They now hope to find his forever home.
"He's almost like a dog in behaviour, so we want to maintain his life of being a happy, social pig," said Augusta Allen, a field officer with Aurora Animal Services,

A guy found this pig on the side of the road...
Not knowing what to do with it, he brought it over to the police station to ask what he should do with it. The policeman tells him to take the pig to the zoo. A couple weeks later the same police officer was on highway patrol and he sees the guy in his driving in his convertible with the pig lounging in the passenger seat, wearing a bathing suit and sunglasses.
The police officer, pulls the guy over and says, “Hey you! What are you still doing with this pig? I thought I told you to take it to the zoo!” “Well officer,” the guy replies, “I did take it to the zoo, and then last weekend I took it to get ice cream, and now I’m taking it to the beach!”
Looks like Arnold Ziffel! That you, Arnold?
If I find him on the side of a road, no collar, no identification, he’s bacon!
That’ll do, pig.
That’s “some pig”
People who think pigs are cute when they are young have no idea what they are getting themselves into when they take them on as pets.
Better to just keep them in the back yard, don’t give them a name and don’t get emotionally attached…
In other words, this little piggy went to market.
Polar Bears are cute when they are young, but I wouldn’t bring one into my house.
It’s easy. Give these nice folks a call.

Re: Loose Pigs. During one of the lean times of My life several of Us were working and living in a Auto Repair Shop and on Sunday we would go the a local Breakfast Buffet for the big fancy meal of the week and we would get the Sunday paper. In the Want Adds under Free Stuff was a person that was being ordered by the Health Department to get rid of all but 2 of the 26 Pot Belly Pigs they had. We instantly thought Free Meat !!! So we called and asked if they had any left. They said Yes but they Must go to a good home. We assured that they would be well taken care of.🤪 So we go and get 3 of them, 2 females and 1 male and go back to the Shop and decided to butcher 1 female and let 1 male and 1 female loose in the barely used City Park area to let them breed and then we would have a stock for food.
Well via the local grapevine gossip we hear that the city is trying to catch the 2 in the Park. After a week of failed attempts by the City, we (being Good Citizens) took 1 of the Shop Dogs and went to the Park. Let the Dog loose and within 10 minutes we were in possession of the male about 5 minutes after that we had the female in possession and went back to Shop to butcher them as well to get rid of the evidence so to speak. Then it was cure, brine and freeze them all up. So I guess the plan kinda worked.
Re: Post 15, Sorry I missed You on the Ping.
Mr. Ziffel: “Arnold says he don’t wanna ride in the back seat Mr. Douglas’’.
Mr. Douglas: “You mean that pig can talk?!’’
Mr.Ziffel; “Aw now ya gone and hurt his feelings. He don’t think he’s a pig at all’’.
Mr.Douglas: “Well what does he think?’’
Mr. Ziffel: “He thinks he’s Lassie’’.
You did some good eating!
I think it’s very hateful to describe Rosie O’Donnell as a pig
We survived OK. Beats eating goobermint cheese for sure.
