TOWNSEND, Mass. —A 225-pound pig that attacked and seriously injured a man less than two hours after attacking a woman at a Massachusetts farm will be put down.
Townsend Police Chief Robert M. Eaton Jr. said his department was investigating "two very unfortunate farm incidents" in the town about 50 miles northwest of Boston.
Police and emergency responders were called to the farm Tuesday evening for a report of an injured woman.
"I need an ambulance. My husband is not home and my pig just literally attacked me," Shannon Hernandez told a 911 dispatcher.
"Your what?" the dispatcher asked.
"My pig," Shannon Hernandez repeated.

I was driving my wife’s 80 year old aunt through a blinding snowstorm in the dark. She had lived in California for 60 years, and I was worried she was freaking out.
Then all of the sudden she said, “I haven’t had this much fun since the pigs ate my little brother!”
Pigs and black bears are two animals that will readily eat people. You probably don’t want to know the details about Willie Pickton and what he fed his pigs.
“Put down”? Ummm, that would be ‘ribs for dinner’ tonight...
As I recall, there was a pretty gory scene involving wild boars in one of the “Hannibal” novels.
Hey pig can be mean and dangerous... this used to be common knowledge
Ever see the opening scene of Wizard of Oz when Dorothy fall in the pig pen?
And the farm hand (the guy thats the Cowardly Lion later) run in to save her...then both come out scared ..there’s a reason... pigs can be dangerous and that was common knowledge
That’s a lot of bacon.
I can’t help it, I must now tell the story of the KILLER ROOSTER.
A couple months ago a lady gave us two young Roosters, about 7 months old. The smaller of the two turned out to be quite aggressive. When it’s treat time, he will not let you miss him. He will jump for the treat and peck your legs if he thinks you’ve forgotten him.
Last week I had been taking a nap. I wake up from hearing my geese screaming their heads off. With the geese, it just means company is here, they are friendly. Then I hear a woman scream. I rushed to a window and using a small makeup mirror, I look down our long driveway to see what might be going on.
Beavis, that’s the name of the smaller rooster (he’s Butt-heads brother), was at the gate. Facing Beavis in what looked like the beginning of mortal battle was a lady. The lady had a collapsible nightstick out and she was moving it through the air in her attempts to keep the evil rooster from devouring her.
It turns our that this lady was the PUD meter reader. I explained to her that Beavis was simply demanding a ransom or toll for entering our property.
We both had a good laugh...yes I teased the heck out of her. The very next day PUD showed up and changed out the meter head. Now the meter can be read by radio signal from the gate. It’s not a smart meter, so nothing can be controlled...it just reads.
I sure wish I had a video of this entire event. Someday I may put up security cameras, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. Heck, with the dog, the geese, chickens and ducks, it’s tough to get on my property unannounced. LOL
Beware of the KILLER ROOSTER......
This is the stupidest thing I have ever read. smh
When Dad butchered "Pork" and "Chop" when I was a kid on the farm, we didn't call it being put down. We called it by its rightful name, food.
So you and the gorilla can’t get along?
That’s not a gorilla! That’s a pig!
I was talking to the pig.
Don’t you think this guy was being too damn nice?
I mean the pig is vicious and will eat you if you allow it but a homo sapien kick to the pigs’ jaw can be powerful.
Plus if it’s me I’m smashing that animal’s head with that camera. You are under attack man, you’ve got to try to crush some bones on that pig.
I’m not advocating fist-fighting pigs haha. I’m just saying if it’s coming, a very hard upper cut kick under their face can hurt badly. You might even break his jaw making him less interested in biting you
Is this the second thread on the same story today, or is there an e-pig-demic?
Hogs are the most dangerous animals on a farm.
I was allowed to play with all the critters, except them.
Donate it to the local masjid; the’ll have a swinetime!
Punishment by death is a concept animals, who have no sin, malice aforethought or moral conscience, totally miss.
It’s only to assuage those whose stupidity caused them embarrassment and/or harm.
Deflection and projection, if you will.
That’s so Deadwood.
Locally, a couple of 600 pounders ate their aged owner. Found only his dentures.
Time to start makin bacon.
Putting it down would waste the bacon, ham, chops and sausage makings. May I suggest a humane slaughter (Correct quick cut, very sharp knife) instead?
