Dardanup shire senior ranger Murray Halden is not telling a porky when recalls his tale of capturing a loose pig on Saturday night.
Mr Halden said he received numerous calls from the public during the night about the black and white male pig on Hynes Road near Forrest Highway.
“It was travelling towards the highway and there were a few concerns that it was causing a traffic hazard,” he said.
“It took me about three hours to capture the pig, it was doing its best to avoid being caught and a few members came out to help, which was great.”
Mr Halden said the pig was impounded at a property on Reading Road in Waterloo, where it would stay until August 7.
“We are calling for the owner of the pig to come forward but if he or she can’t be identified then he becomes the property of the Dardanup Shire Council,” he said.
“We want to find a home for the pig so we would sell him.”
