A BEER-SWILLING feral pig that made headlines from South Hedland region

A BEER-SWILLING feral pig that made headlines for stealing six packs from tourists in Western Australia has met a tragic end.

Main Roads in the region confirmed on Monday the wild pig had been found dead after being hit by a truck near Port Hedland.

The pig, dubbed "Swino" by locals, had been hunted for weeks after raiding campsites at the De Grey River rest area in the South Hedland region last month.

"We had hoped he could become our mascot, so it is a sad end for him," Fionna Findley of Main Roads said.

"It is a very common occurrence for feral animals to get hit and killed by vehicles, but we are all a bit upset."

The pig was said to have drunk as many as 18 cans of beer in one session, before sticking his snout in bin bags to find late-night snacks left by tourists.

Witnesses even reported seeing the porcine predator picking a fight with a cow.

Officers had been trying to locate the animal, who had kept his snout clean since his booze-up a month ago.

Ha ha ya beat me to it.  Ya gotta ask, what are them Pilbara boys doing to them poor piggies   

First it was, Cows with guns, then along comes a pig after my own heart.
R.I.P. Pig

"Last time I drank 18 cans of beer and fought a cow, she kicked my ass and divorced me."

"if people can act like pigs when they're drunk..."

"Bacon done right."

"Friends don't let pigs wander while drunk!"

"...what I did last night!"

"the pigs used to nick my beer all the time too "

LMAO...

swino certainly got world wide notoriety.

RIP

You gotta ask yourself whether we humans did in fact evolved from apes or maybe it might have been from bush pigs,  cannibals called human meat "long pig" so maybe they were on to something,  also we (well some of us) tend to show the same traits at times. 

Seems all to familiar, beer swilling, picking fights with fat cow's, getting the munchies after being on the piss all night, trying to cadge a free beer when out of cash, falling asleep on the road after getting sloshed,  ,.......
