I can imagine that a hog would be very hard to take down.

@JudyEv I want to know if it was a wild or domesticated animal.

They are huge animals to try to take down.

That's a funny photo. I've always liked pigs. If you feed them right and are kind to them, they are fine animals.

What's up with Utah and wild animals running around. First a cow now a hog.

Sounds like the police have their hands full with those 3 Little Pigs. Hopefully, the Big Bad Wolf isn't running around the neighborhood too...

If it's not a hog, it's an emu; and if it's not an emu it's a horse....so many animals running the streets. I'm glad the hogs were caught.
