Eviction Escape: Man Flees, Pig Attacks
`A man and his pet wild pig facing eviction from their Boulder Creek home have eluded authorities — the man by running into the woods, and the pig by attacking deputies. [..]
“The pig, and I don’t know her name, is aggressive,” sheriff’s Sgt. Fred Plageman said. “It seems to be a domesticated pig, and on past occasions it has chased deputies around and chewed up part of a patrol car.”
Deputies tried again to evict Canabou on Tuesday but found only the pig. They posted eviction notices and left the property.
“The rumor is that every time we go up there, the owner runs into the woods,” said Mike McFarland, general manager of Santa Cruz County Animal Services. “To be boldly honest, we don’t really want to take custody of a 200-pound pig.”‘
