Some of the animals also
used the time of their brief freedom to mate right on the expressway.
A group of runaway pigs
held up traffic for five hours after they escaped from a lorry taking them to a
slaughterhouse.
The pigs made their bid for
freedom after their truck crashed into another vehicle on the side of the
highway in Ikeda, western Japan.
Out of the 37 animals on
the truck, 19 tried to escape.
A video filmed from a
passing car shows the pigs casually trotting up and down the hard shoulder
while others laze and sniff about on the verge.
Police officers spent five
hours trying to ensure the pigs did not stray into oncoming traffic.
Japanese media reported
that none of the pigs were harmed in either the crash or the capture process,
They were eventually
rounded up by police.
