Animal Farm’s Napoleon Ready to Rule The World…

Filed Under:

Last week, in the middle of rush hour, a rebellious pig tried to flee from an evil farmer.  Or at least, I’m sure that’s what George Orwell would make out of this. 

The pig was en route to the butcher when he saw his opportunity and escaped between an Appleton Starbucks and Maplewood Meats near Green Bay.  I’m assuming he was looking for a latte and not a pulled pork sandwich.  (Someone should tell him about our Hold the Hormones campaign!)

The police were called to the scene where they tried to subdue the beast with a stun gun.  The pig prevailed, though, and even squirmed his way from a self-proclaimed pig wrastler.  In the end, it took three tranquilizer darts to calm the poor fella down.  He will be sore in the morning, but because the effects of tranquilizers on pigs are relatively unknown, he won’t be sent back to the butcher anytime soon.

Pig 1, farmer 0.
