A SECOND pig has been spotted on the fly in Fagley.

The heavily pregnant black gilt was seen by care home kitchen worker Joanne Frary who contacted the Telegraph & Argus to say there was ‘a new pig on the block’.

The sighting comes just a few weeks after a ginger coloured feral hog was snapped walking the streets of Fagley, making national headlines.

Mrs Frary, 42, who lives in Queensbury, was at work when she looked out of the window and saw the second swine hogging a nearby field.

“Fortunately I had some colleagues with me when I saw her otherwise no one would have believed me! I had to do a double-take.

“I went out and tried to call her through the fence but she completely ignored me. She wasn’t friendly like the other one who was really tame and used to let you stroke it. It used to talk to you and always snorting away. This one wasn’t tame at all. It walked on to Foston Close and then disappeared up Fagley Road,” she said.

“I’ve put it on my Facebook under the heading ‘New Pig On The Block!’”

The first boar spotted in Fagley, now named Leo, was seen several times over the last year.

Bosses at Throstle Nest Riding School said he had been causing distress to some of the horses and ponies there during the last three months.

Leo has since been captured and re-homed to a farm in Derbyshire after the Manchester Pig Save group got involved.

Former Eccleshill councillor Ann Wallace, who took a snap of the first hog, said stories of a second pig on the loose in Fagley was news to her and she would inform Bradford Council.

“If she is pregnant, she probably has a den somewhere.

“I walk my three dogs in Fagley but have not seen the second pig. It’s quite unusual,” she added.

The second pig seemed to appear from some old railway banking on land near Foston Close, according to Mrs Frary.

“There were rumours there is or was an old farm in Fagley Road and that’s where the pigs might come from but I’m not sure how much truth there is in that.

“You’ve got to have a licence to keep pigs and I don’t think there’s anyone in Fagley who has one of those,” she said.
