Beer Thieving Pig Gets Drunk and Starts Fight With Cow

http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/9358/20141003/beer-thieving-pig-gets-drunk-starts-fight-cow.htm

It's the dead of night in an Australian campground and you can't sleep. There's a great many things you should be worrying about at a time like this. The "wild Down Under" is well known for its giant bugs and reptiles boasting even larger teeth. The last thing you'd be looking out for is a particularly surly and drunk pig tearing through your supplies, but that's exactly what one group of campers stumbled upon.

According to the campers, the pig likely crushed three full six-packs of beer over the course of the night, drinking them dry before drunkenly tearing through trash bins at the DeGrey River rest area, east of Port Hedland, Australia.

According to the campers who were trying to keep track of the surly little pig, it at one point tried to start a fight with a nearby cow, which didn't go very well for the wobbly porker.

And Findley says Main Roads isn't exactly equipped to control a wild pig anyways, "especially one under the influence."

How many six-packs will it take to get to place X.

It depends, are you walking, or driving?

Hint: Walking takes fewer six-packs.

"And then there was some other people camped right on the river and they saw him running around their vehicle being chased by a cow," Merida said. "It was going around and around and then it went into the river and swam across."

The pig was last seen resting against a tree stump on the river's shore, nursing what is probably the worst hangover it's ever had.
