A pony-size pig held an Australian woman "hostage" for 10 days inside her home, demanding constant feedings and headbutting her bedroom door at night. The 176-pound pig, named Bruce, will be removed to a piggery, where stud duties will save his (as it were) bacon.

According to Caroline Hayes, 63, the pig wandered onto her property 11 days ago after being let loose in surrounding rainforest by neighbors. "One of its eyes it couldn't see out of, so I put cream in it and I fixed it.... But apparently [the pig] actually claimed my land and claimed my place," Hayes said. Bruce, whose size Hayes compares to "a Shetland pony," was unwilling to vacate the premises. "I picked up a broom and poked him out with it and he snapped it in half with his mouth," Hayes told Australian media.
