Masterless animals
“Suddenly the two mini pigs were there”
In southern Burgenland, abandoned minipigs have been spotted several times over the past week. It is still unclear where the animals escaped from. In any case, catching them is "extremely difficult".
Mini pigs are small domestic pigs. Some stray animals are now causing a bit of a stir in the district of Güssing. It is unclear how many there are. The first sighting was on Monday near Neuberg. Animals then turned up several times in the district.
On Saturday, two mini pigs were spotted in Rauchwart. "Suddenly they were there and ran along the main road," explains local resident Carina Wunderler. Together with farmer René Graf, she immediately tried to catch the animals. "It's probably the mother and her young," says local hunting guide Johann Pammer, who is also helping out. But catching them is not so easy: "We don't want to hurt the animals," he emphasizes. There has already been a partial success: the younger minipig has been caught. It is now being cared for in a dog crate.
Live trap is wanted
Meanwhile, drivers in the district of Güssing are urged to take extra care, as several animals may still be on the move. Anyone who sees a minipig can call Carina Wunderler on 0664/5015 825. A live trap is urgently needed to make it easier to catch the animals. It is also unclear who they belong to. So far there have been no reports of minipigs escaping anywhere.
