Pot-Bellied Prison Pig Paroled
A pot-bellied pig put in the pokey for pointlessly peripatetic behavior has made bail. The Porcine vagrant was found wandering about Terrell County, Georgia by sheriff's deputies and promptly jailed at the Terrell County Correctional Institution for criminal mopery. But when a local television station publicized the plight of the pig, someone stepped forward to make bail.
Apparently, someone dumped this friendly pot-belly pig in a rural area of Terrell County.
The county's code enforcement officer picked her up near Highway 32 this week, and prisoners at the Terrell County Correctional Institution have been caring for the pig.
After seeing our story Thursday night, a lot of people called wanting to adopt the oinker.
A farmer from Webster County is the lucky one. He'll pick up his new pet Saturday.
Let's hope the farmer is ready to deal with this. Prison changes a pig.

Pot-bellied pigs are the source of some awesome bacon, though.

If you read the original story on the pig, it seems the pig has a real aversion to having its belly touched. Now we know why!
