A Vietnamese pig caused a bit of a stir in Vélez-Málaga as it wandered down the Camino Viejo de Málaga, almost causing two road accidents.
It took five people half an hour to apprehend the rogue porker, the Local Police first diverting it to a nearby road under construction as a precautionary safety measure. Such animals are quite popular as pets, although many people fail to realise that the cute little piglets grow to quite a size.
This little piggy will be spending the next 15 days in the Animal Health Unit in Rincón de la Victoria. If at the end of this period it is not claimed then it will be offered for ‘adoption’.
