2 Pigs Attacked On Colorado Springs Farm

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Two pigs were tied up and beaten

at a foundation-owned farm in southwest Colorado Springs, and farm

operators say one may have to be euthanized.

Venetucci Farm manager Patrick Hamilton says the pigs were

attacked twice, on March 31 and again Monday.

Hamilton says it appears the pigs were hit with a fence post,

rather than attacked by dogs or coyotes.

He is asking anyone with information to contact the El Paso

County Sheriff’s Department.

The 190-acre farm is owned by the Pikes Peak Community

Foundation. It grows and sells organic produce and offers education

and volunteer programs.

It gives away pumpkins to children every fall.
