Debate Over Fate of Escaped Pig Escalates

The sow was on a truck traveling from Nebraska to a Little Rock processing plant when it overturned on June 22nd on Interstate 430. The 800-pound animal was found a week later in a residential swimming pool.
The woman who found the pig, LeAnn Baldy, dubbed her "Wilburette." Baldy says she is afraid the farmer who now has the pig plans to have the animal butchered.
The veterinarian who placed the pig on the farm says it's best that the animal be butchered. But Thelma Ray Jones, who runs the Hope for Homeless Animal Sanctuary in Elkins, says she knows people who would pay the farmer for the pig to keep it alive.
