Under Ontario’s Trespass to Property Act, those found trespassing “(are) guilty of an offence and on conviction (are) liable to fine of not more than $10,000.”

And despite the alleged intruder’s reputation for squealing, a confession of any wrongdoing is doubtful.

According to Ontario Police Reports, Lanark County OPP were called to the 2nd Concession of Dalhousie on Nov. 25 after a resident reported they’d seen a large sow wandering and feeding on their property for three days.

After surrendering to police and being transported to a local farm until its owner can be established, the animal said it got separated from its siblings.

“One of my siblings went to the market, another stayed home,” the pig said. “One went out for roast beef, while another had none. I was scared and tried crying ‘wee wee wee’ all the way home. I must’ve taken a wrong turn.”

No other details about the pig are being released so police can better verify any ownership claims.

Anyone who may have recently lost pigs is asked to call Lanark County OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
