CUTE VIDEO: Pig Escapes Onto a Pennsylvania Highway, Rescued by Good Samaritans
Good Samaritans and police kept the pig safe after it escaped a transport truck due to an unlatched door, and it was secured by Lancaster Farm Sanctuary within two hours.
- Thursday, a pig escaped from a moving truck on Route 23 and Route 30 in Lancaster County, prompting Good Samaritans and Manheim Township Police to intervene and keep it safe.
- Witnesses said the truck's rear door opened shortly after 12 p.m., allowing the pig to step off; the gate wasn’t latched and the driver continued without stopping while police had not immediately located the vehicle.
- Good Samaritans used snacks to lure the pig while police diverted traffic, and Lancaster County Animal Response Team loaded the pig shortly before 2 p.m., as shown in PennDOT camera footage and WGAL News 8 viewer photos.
- Lancaster Farm Sanctuary said the pig will join other pigs at its rescue, likely avoided slaughter, and is expected to live a long, healthy life with proper care.
- The sanctuary noted it receives calls a couple times a year to rescue found or stray animals, and Manheim Township Police said this is not the first livestock incident they've handled.
