Loose pigs captured before a cheering crowd of students

A little levity for a Saturday morning.

It's not often you the RCMP chasing a pig.

Loose pigs captured before cheering crowd of students

Spotted near Mar Jok Elementary Wednesday morning, a number of people and organizations sprung into action, including RCMP, RDCO animal control, the Okanagan Humane Society, Petra’s Pawdicures and Star’s Piggly Wiggly Sanctuary...

"We ended up catching the first pig really easy in the field. It actually went very smooth and we got him in the van, but the other little guy, he was out. So probably about 30 minutes of up and down the hills, we ended up getting him in the corner of a yard with a bit of fencing that had broken...

“Once they had the fence over his back, I crawled underneath, grabbed his legs and held on for dear life until more people could get in and help me hold him. And then from there we got him into a crate and into the van.”

pause it at 0:53 ... looks to me that Deputy has a 3rd Gen S&W.

Possibly single stack? If so then it is probably 45 ACP ... unless he needs 10MM for hog hunting

Looks like RCMP and they carry a 5946 DAO.

They are apparently looking at updating but being a Federal institution, we could all be ancient history before that happens I think it took the Cdn. military something like 13 years to decide on a replacement (SIG P320) for their WWII-era BHP. Not sure if they actually have any yet.

I think the Canadian military has about 200 rifles and an equal number of handguns that they generally issue for special occasions and are passed around from unit to unit as needed.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they have the lowest ratio of guns per soldier of almost any army in the developed world.
I’m exaggerating a little, of course, but they tend to not involve themselves in any confrontational situations that might lead to having to actually shoot people.

They could always go back to the .455 Webley.

Those pigs are supposed to be greased (Bacon grease?) before you catch 'em

LOL. I was initially going to title the thread, "Away like a greased pig."

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Way back in my Puppy Dog Pipe Lining days I used to hear about Shooting the Pig. I never actually saw it happen.

Thanks for the chuckles, oldbrownhat! This one is headed to my buddy in Saanichton. I'm always up for a little cross-border fun poking. Lord knows, he has plenty of US content to use.
