ERHARD – A rural Erhard man defended himself against two aggressive pigs on his property Tuesday, shooting and killing the animals after they charged his wife earlier that day.
At 5 p.m. Tuesday, Lynn Harlow called the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office to report that he had killed two pigs owned by his neighbor. Harlow said his wife, Wendy, had gone outside earlier that day at their home on County Highway 43, east of Big Stone Lake. However, once she was out of the house with the couple’s small dog, she saw two pigs.
When the pigs spotted her, Harlow said, they charged. His wife managed to retreat to the safety of the garage before the pigs reached her, but they rubbed up against the garage door after she was inside.
Later that day, Lynn Harlow returned home. When he learned about the pig attack, he took a gun and went out looking for the animals. He eventually located them on his property, and he told law enforcement that when they saw him, they ran at him as well. He shot them as they were charging.
Law enforcement investigation is ongoing.

Maybe they were friendly pigs and just wanted a rubbing.

Too bad they shot 'em. Sounds like those pigs would have made good guard pig stock.

Instead of a sign that says: " These premises protected by Smith & Wesson" They could had: "These premises protected by Arnold Ziffel".

Sounds like someone has been watching a little to much American Hoggers

I really don't see the problem here. Another persons pigs where on his property, the shooter has EVERY RIGHT to kill the pigs, whether they posed a threat or not.A guy I work with, his hunting buddy lives next door to a wild life preserve, and those animals are always breaking down the fence to his property and he shoots them and those animals end up as dinner.

I don't think you can shoot a critter just because it wanders across your property line.
