HOW WAS YOUR SATURDAY MORNING!!! What a morning with the dreaded hunters and their dogs. 7.00am and bang, bang with their guns getting all my dogs going and waking up all the neighbours. Anyways that is another story. This is the main post. I had a call at 1.45pm today from my neighbour who lives high up on the mountain and said she saw pig swimming in a large water tank similar to a swimming pool and the pig could not get out. You can only get to it by parking the car below the land and the going by foot to the water tank. I called the Guardia Civil as I would need help and they said that Seprona are back at 2pm and I said the Pig might be drowned by then. Anyways they arrived in a 4x4 at 3.30pm with gloves and grasper in hand and I took them to where I thought the land was. The gate was locked but we were able to walk around the side of the gate via a small alleyway. 300meters later up a steep slope of loose terrain, which I was hanging onto one of them as I have a doggy leg for those things, we arrived at the water tank, which the owner obviously uses for irrigation and there was 2 piglets a few meters from the tank and a huge porker in the tank swimming frantic trying to get out. The Seprona man put the grasper on one of the legs and started to pull him towards the other man to be able to get hold of it but it was so heavy that the grasper came off and the pig and the pig went under, but he soon bobbed up as he was so fat. The grasper went on his leg again and the other man grabbed his ear, which was doggy as the pig kept turning towards him as though to bite him. There was nothing I could do (grabbing wise) so I got my mobile phone out and took these photos. Anyways after 5 minutes of pulling and the pig screaming his head off, he was ¾ out of the tank with just his bum in the water and the grasper slipped off again but the porker little legs by now were going like egg beaters, she did the final push on the side of the tank and he managed to get out and we all backed off a few yards in case she turned towards us, but she did not and went straight ahead towards the piglets. Seprona will have a word with the owner about putting some fencing around the pool, but I know this man and nothing will happen. Anyways folks, what a lovely ending that could have easily turned into a tragedy.
