Maine police investigating screams find happy pig

CHINA, Maine  - Police took it seriously when a woman in the town of China, Maine called to say she heard what sounded like a fight - screams – coming from a neighbor’s home.

Officers responded, expecting to confront a case of domestic violence. Instead, what they found was a case of domestic bliss…involving a pig.

Actually, many pigs.

The Morning Sentinel reports that four state troopers responded to the report on Monday Jan. 27 and talked to the neighbor.

She explained that she raises pigs, and the “screaming” was actually squealing…coming from an overjoyed male pig. The amorous animal had been placed in a pen with five sows in heat.

To sum up - no assault, no domestic violence – just what police described as “the screaming male pig."
