Investigators trying to solve mystery surrounding pig found shot & killed in Snohomish County Creek FOX13
Investigators are trying to solve the mystery of a young pig that was found shot and killed in the middle of a creek in. They say the pig was nowhere near a farm and likely could not have wandered to that location on its own. It has now prompted an animal cruelty investigation.
Investigators say local residents first spotted the pig dead in Olney Creek around September 14th. She says after getting a tip, they started an investigation. Snohomish County Animal Control also got involved and the Washington Department of Natural Resources is assisting if needed. Gregory says evidence points to someone possibly bringing the pig to that location alive.
Gregory says there was no kill-shot to the head, adding that this wasn't a case of humane euthanasia. The pig did have an ear tag when found, which Gregory says is evidence that could be helpful in tracking down what happened to the pig, where she came from and how she got to the area of the creek.
