A local Lancaster man was today arrested at a Lancaster farm after being caught hanging out the back of a large make pig. The man, who cannot be named for animal cruelty reasons, is said to be 43 years of age and is known to have worked in education. Farm owner Giles Gileston said ‘I thought Bert had seemed a little detached and distant recently and I’ve heard squealing in the night but just put it down to the weather. Little did I know that this beast had been interfering with my livestock, I hope he hangs for this’
The police investigation continues with the information that other farmers are coming forward reporting disturbances to their animals. The case continues.
