CUSTER, Mich. (AP) ? A 900-pound hog with a reputation for avoiding the slaughterhouse escaped again, but this time met its fate.
The 3-year-old swine recently jumped off a trailer while being unloaded at Sanders Meat Packing Inc. in the Mason County community of Custer. WWTV-TV in Cadillac says the hog spent the next six hours roaming village streets and dodging his pursuers.
Farmer Jeff Davenport tells the Ludington Daily News he finally shot the hog to stop it.
He says the meat was salvaged and nothing went to waste.
Davenport says the hog previously had escaped from his Lake County farm. He says he'd tried to bring the animal to the slaughterhouse several times before. But each time it jumped to freedom, at least temporarily.
