A herd of pigs was rooting around in the Breadfruits as I walked into the orchard with 12 fruit tasters. We got to within 30 metres before they stampeded. Luckily they ran away from us - some of the pigs were huge, and there were lots of piglets.
Our two dogs - Kimmy and Mia - took off after them. It all seemed to happen in slow motion - the dogs were loping, the pigs were trotting. And it was EXIT - Stage right. Then ENTER - Stage left. Pigs first, followed by dogs. EXIT - stage right again. It reminded me of a Keystone Cops movie with the police chase.
And the next afternoon they were there AGAIN! Our neighbour has started shooting them and is killing 3 or 4 a day. They are making a huge mess in the orchard turning over the soil looking for worms.
