Pig steals 18 beers, gets drunk, starts fight with cow

[UrbScotty]

It's the dead of night in an Australian campground and you can't sleep. There's a great many things you should be worrying about at a time like this. The "wild Down Under" is well known for its giant bugs and reptiles boasting even larger teeth. The last thing you'd be looking out for is a particularly surly and drunk pig tearing through your supplies, but that's exactly what one group of campers stumbled upon.

"It was in the middle of the night and it was these people camping opposite us and they heard this crunching of the can and they got their torch out and shone it on the pig and there he was scrunching away at their cans," a camper named Merida told ABC.

According to the campers, the pig likely crushed three full six-packs of beer over the course of the night, drinking them dry before drunkenly tearing through trash bins at the DeGrey River rest area, east of Port Hedland, Australia.

Fionna Findley from the Main Roads department told local reporters that the feral pig in question has been causing a ruckus in the area for days, tearing through campgrounds and trash in several rest areas. However, this was the first time she had heard of the pig getting drunk and angry.

3. there is a pub here called

the peckish pig. havent had a chance to check it out, but maybe i should stop in and tell them about this.

4. I used to work for a pig farmer.

The last thing a pig is, is peckish. Ours were fed once each day and ravenous would be a better description for those guys.

5. I don't think DU is the appropriate place for play-by-play coverage of lovers' quarrels

8. These are not your friendly household pigs

They are the the Australian Feral pig and males can top out at over 200 kg (440 lbs)

This picture of an such a pig has been circulating for some time

9. Warning about that link in the OP

It messed up my system so badly I had to run ccleaner and reboot. And then my log-in was gone from DU (probably all my other sites as well).

If you are not really sure how secure your system is, I'd advise not taking a chance.
I'm running windows and chrome. It could have been a problem with one of them, but the web page link would not close. I put it away (because it kept freezing up) and it tried to open up at least five more times.

10. Before you make false allegations like this please ask Google for a malware check

There are NO malware reports for that site, see the Virus Total scan report at the following link

If you are getting malware reports the fault lies in your own system.

11. I said as much in my post...it might be my system

But I've searched my system and nothing is detected. It is the ony web page that my computer has reacted to in that way. It is perhaps malware in my system related to something on that page?
