A trap has been set up to try to capture a hog that escaped while being unloaded at Harriston Packers this week.
It has been roaming through back yards and along the Maitland River bank.
The Wellington Advertiser reported that the Ministry of Natural Resources set a trap near an apple tree the pig frequents to much on windfalls.
Minto director of building and planning services Terry Kuipers said “due to concerns about the pig causing a traffic incident and becoming injured, as well as concerns about damage to property and spread of disease, the MNR set a live trap.”
