HARRISTON – A wily hog  has been on the loose in the west end of town here for a full week. Two pigs escaped while being unloaded by a Durham area farmer at Harriston Packers on Arthur Street on Aug. 14. 

One pig was quickly re-captured, but the other continued to elude pursuers.

The animal has been spotted wandering local backyards and the area along the Maitland River behind the packing plant. A makeshift trap set up by the farmer under an apple tree the reddish-coloured swine was known to frequent failed to corral it.
