Two-year-old Wei Tsao was mauled to
death after crawling into the pen of
this female pig in China as she
attempted to protect her newborn
piglets
Hearing their child’s screams, the
parents rushed back outside but found
they were too late.
Distraught father Sun Tsai, 25, said:
‘We had popped inside for just a
couple of minutes when we heard the
screams.
‘When we came out we saw the pig
about 80 metres away gnawing on
Keke’s head.’
Other villagers came rushing to the
scene where they grabbed the pig and
tied it to a tree before killing it and
cutting its stomach open.
Inside they found fragments of Keke’s
skull and hair, which they showed to
authorities to prove the pig had killed
him.
Wei had been playing in the garden
with his parents when they went
inside for a moment. When they
heard the boy’s screams they came
back outside, only to find the pig
eating his head. Village leader Cheng
Yuan, 62, said: ‘This is a horrible
tragedy. We had to cut the pig open,
not as an act of revenge but to prove
to the authorities that it had indeed
killed and eaten Keke.’
A police spokesman said: ‘Sows are
often docile creatures but pregnant
pigs and ones who have just given
birth can be very protective and turn
aggressive towards anything they
consider to be a threat to their piglets.
‘We urge farmers to keep their pigs in
their pens.’
