Man Throws 60-Pound Pig At Hotel Workers
Police Baffled By Recent Animal Tossings

POSTED: 8:43 am CST December 7, 2006

WEST POINT, Miss. -- Pig tossing has the police stumped in West Point, Miss.

Kevin Pugh, 20, was fined $279 this week for tossing a 60-pound pig over the counter at the Holiday Inn Express on Nov. 12. West Point Police Lt. Danny McCaskill said, "It must be some redneck thing."
McCaskill said no one was hurt, including the pig. He said it's silliest thing he's ever seen.

Pugh pleaded guilty Tuesday in city court to a charge of disturbing the peace. There's no evidence intoxication was a factor. McCaskill said Pugh called the incident a prank.

It's the second recent pig throwing and fourth animal tossing incident in town. Two of the incidents involved opossum.

10. Pigs are amazing animals

I have worked with them at a sanctuary extensively-intelligent, friendly. I would say they are easily as intelligent as dogs if not more so.

14. For the record

pigs are more intelligent than dogs.

Very smart, yummy critters.
