Mysterious pig rambunctious chin for days
For well over a week, a pig has ruined both the lawn and the flower beds of Yvonne Kubel in her allotment in Copenhagen. The swineherd was first mentioned by Danish TV2.
– It has destroyed my entire chin, says Kubel.
She contacted both the police, Animal Welfare and Animal Protection for help, but was told that they could do nothing until she could prove that it was the pig that was responsible for the pig pen.
Then she started filming it.
Thought it was a wild boar
She got help from a neighbor. Together they also tried to approach the pig, but it didn’t go so well at first.
– It started running towards us. Of course I was scared! At first we thought it was a wild boar.
When the police saw video footage, they moved out and set up a large pig trap in the chin.
The pig appeared day after day, but did not allow himself to be lured into the pig trap. The neighbors were amused that the pig strangely only scratched Yvonne Kubel’s chin and no one else’s.
Eventually Kubel settled into a rocking chair inside the house and started talking to the pig outside.
– Then it got used to my voice, believes Kubel.
Then she tried to approach the pig again. After all, it looked very nice. But this time it was the pig that ran away in fear.
Her cat, however, quickly managed to establish a good relationship with the pig.
– Every time my cat came out, the pig ran after it to play. My cat was also very interested in the pig. It was a lot of fun watching them play together.
Lured it in the fall
On Friday this week, she ventured out of the house again. Yvonne slowly walked over to the pig. This time, none of them stuck out.
– Suddenly it lay completely calm until me. The last two days I have been petting it. I became such good friends with it. It was like a dog! she says enthusiastically.
The friendship had to end anyway.
After all, the pig did not stop ramming her chin.
Saturday morning she set out again.
– When it arrived, we talked for a bit together outside in the garden. Then I went into the trap that I had to lure it in. Eventually it came.
Then the pig was picked up by Dyrevernet. The unusual summer flirtation lasted for a week and a half.
Now Yvonne Kubel is left with a broken chin – and the feeling of emptiness in her stomach.
– I was actually quite upset when it was picked up.
