Maine police were expecting scenes of domestic violence when they responded to a call from a neighbour in the town of China last week. The neighbour reported hearing screaming, prompting her to seek police assistance. Their houses were separated by woods.

However, instead of seeing a battered wife or child, what the four state troopers who checked the report saw was an overjoyed male pig in heat.

The homeowner explained that she raises pigs. The squeals were from the male pig which was placed in a pen with five sows waiting to be mated.

For readers who are not familiar with the sound, here it is.
