A huge pig called Bruce has trapped a terrified woman in her home in Australia.
Caroline Hayes, 63, tried to leave her house in Uki, New South Wales, to use the outdoor toilet, but the animal bit her and shoved her back inside.
Bruce, who is the size of a Shetland pony, showed up at her home 10 days ago after his owners were unable to cope with him and let him loose in the rain forest.
Hayes began feeding the beast, but he became more aggressive, demanding more food and biting her on the leg when she tried to go to the toilet.
Local rangers tried to rescue her but could not capture the huge animal.
The case has now been handed over to the Rural Lands Protection Board (RLPB), who have promised not to put the animal down.
Hayes told how she took pity on the beast, but it soon took over her home.
"When I found it, it had 15 ticks in its eyes which I actually took out," she said.
"One of its eyes it couldn't see out of, so I put cream in it, but apparently it's actually claimed my land and claimed my place

"It started getting very pushy, started pushing me around, so I started to get a bit frightened, until the stage that it started knocking on my door at 4 a.m., actually head-butting my door.”
First of all we need to understand just how big "Bruce" is. below is a picture of a shetland pony with accompanying rider. 
According to the greatest source of true info on the planet Wikipedia a Shetland pony grows to between 28 to 42 inches in height and about 600 pounds. This is what a 600 pound pig looks like
That's a lot of bacon. Watch out mom the pig might eat your baby.Its a big pig. I understand that it could push you around if it tried. The thing that caught my attention first of all was how this was another battered spouse story. She states that she started feeding it and it got more aggressive and demanded more. Then she states that it has claimed her space and her land. Did it go down to the municipal building and fill out the proper permits. This is ridiculous. Then there is the final sentence "It started getting very pushy, started pushing me around, so I started to get a bit frightened, until the stage that it started knocking on my door at 4 a.m., actually head-butting my door.” This woman is retarded she is scared of a freaking pig. Honestly get a butcher knife and use it. I big stick. Heck, start cooking some bacon for breakfast and it might just get the idea. The way I see it if 600 pounds of free bacon came knocking at my door at 4 o'clock in the morning it would be next to pancakes and eggs by six. When we as human beings cannot defend ourselves against obese, pushy, smelly pigs (domesticated) then we really deserve all we get in life. In the immortal words of my father in law "its time to grow some juevos rancheros" and show the pig who's boss.
Come to think of it I think a movie has been made about this incident. Granted Hollywood has taken some theatrical liberties but I knew that I had seen this before when I read the article. To set it up I believe this is Hollywoods version of the Rangers trying to capture the pig. Here is a clip.
