Lancaster County, Pa., Has a new kind of wave hazard – a runaway pig that has made Conestoga Country Club his personal playground.
For months, the pork fugitive is around the greens, sneaking at the yards of the neighbors and even friendship with local dogs. The police of Manor Township confirmed that there were originally two pigs, although only one in general remains.
Animal rescue group Eastern Snouts Adoption and Rehoming has made the effort to catch the elusive pigs. One pig was caught, but the second continues to avoid – even though it is tempted with Cheerios paths and food stations.
“He is cute, his tail never stops wagging,” said the local resident Stephanie Reddinger, who temporarily organized the pig in her garden. “I will take care of him until he is safe.”
Golf course staff also had their part of encounters. Superintendent Matthew Turner said that the pig is daring enough to go over the track in broad daylight, while assistant -superintendent Casey Post once had to accompany him from the building with a golf cart.
Rescuers say that the pig has also excavated trenches, torn pieces of grass and has become coverage in nearby forests. Despite the damage, most locals find the situation more charming than more frustrating.
This is not an isolated business – stray pigs have been reported on golf courses in Lititz and in the region. Eastern Snouts estimates that about 40 were seen this year in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, often after escape from pens or abandoned by overwhelming owners.
For now, the Conestoga pig remains free, luckily the Fairways – again prove that Golf is not just a Gentleman’s game.
