I must admit to having had a little chuckle when I read that
Kevin and Francis have already escaped a few times from their enclosure. It seems an electric fence isn’t enough to
stop these inquisitive little guys. It
got me thinking about other stories I have read about pigs escaping from slaughterhouses
and lead me to a little searching on the internet. Apparently pigs are “more intelligent than
most dogs and three year old children” (http://www.animalsaustralia.org/media/photos.php?photo=Pig+intelligence). I wonder what my three year old child would
have to say about that.
