A 63-year-old Australian woman is complaining that a giant pig is holding her hostage in her home. But she wouldn’t like that to be taken away to the butcher either. For she really loves it.

A council spokeswoman said the RLPB has assured Ms Hayes they would take Bruce to a piggery after collecting him tomorrow and not end his life.

Hayes says Bruce has been wreaking havoc in her yard.
"He's pulled a big king-size mattress out of my garage and he's ripped it up all around the yard," she told the ABC.
"And then he's come up again and I've got a mat outside my door, which he's actually rolled up.
"He put his nose underneath it and actually rolled it up into a perfect roll."
She had locked herself inside yesterday afternoon and did not come out again until late this morning.
"This morning, I wanted to go to my toilet, which is outside. I opened up the door and the pig pushed me that hard, it pushed me back into my room, where I fell over," she said.
"I picked up a broom and poked him out with it and he snapped it in half with his mouth."
Rangers from Murwillumbah Council will try to catch the pig today but Ms Hayes doesn’t want to know what they plan to do with it.
"I haven't stopped crying because I'm a major animal lover and a vegetarian."
