Weird. The pigs strike back. This could be the beginning of the end....
"Samuel Johnson argued that pigs are more intelligent than dogs and are prevented from showing the full extent of their intellect only by mankind's loathsome habit of killing and eating them before they get a chance to go on to higher education. The truth of the good doctor's assertion was proved categorically when I investigated the truth behind the headline "Wild Pigs Threaten Golfers".
It appears that in the past month a herd of 20 or so porkers has taken to swimming to Hong Kong's Kau Sai Chau island each night and tearing up swaths of a Gary Player-designed 18-hole course. The management at the Hong Kong golf centre have hired watchmen to drive "noisy buggies" about in an attempt to frighten away the pigs but that has not prevented them from so far destroying seven square kilometres of fairway."
