1 Hungry Neighbors, DM? You sure about that?

And escaped? You sure about that as well?
A marked, well groomed, well behaved, captured not shot, untusked fat pig just happens to end up in the neighbor's back yard?

2 400-pound hog a pet therapy pig???? Loose?++
They said vs They said "knew" vs "didn't know it was".

Besides even Georgia uses drones to hunt wild pigs, becaue we have 800++ pounds
loose like HogZillia. If you have ever been tree by a Boar shooting it is the solution.

So a few things don't ring right here.

SIDE NOTE:
400 lbs dressed out would yeild around 285 lbs of meat.
With about 14 lbs being Bacon.

Well worth investing a rifle bullet, because pistol bullets tend to be iffy.

4 Bootsy had a livestock ear tag which clearly identified her as a farm animal.

Farm animals are usually eaten or breed. Therapy animals usually have a harness identifying it as such.

5 The harness is for when the therapy animal is taken out in public, not at home. Or when competing against other farm animals, either.

6 Kind of reminds me of when the Montagnard immigrants to San Francisco killed and ate the swans in Golden Gate Park.
