Oklahoma authorities ordered a citizen to get rid of his pig for being too fat.

Oklahoma authorities ordered owner Larry Steffany Jones to dispose of him, saying he was too fat a pig to keep as a pet in the city.

And that’s last week the animal took advantage of its owners’ negligence and fled its home to enter the streets of Moore, where it ended up blocking access to several vehicles that circulated in the area.

Thus, the intervention of some police officers and animal control agents was necessary to move the heavy pig, which, frightened by so many strange people around it, continued to grunt in an attempt to evade its captors.

Because of all the misdeeds plump Larry committed along the way, animal control officials warned his owner in writing that she had two weeks to get him refitted or put on a diet.

The controversy arises because the pet is considered too fat to stay within city limits, as the regulations state that pigs must not exceed 75 pounds and 20 inches in length.

“I was told that if I lost weight, I could keep it,” said Steffany Jones, who, no matter how she spins on the matter, does not know how to get her pig to shed excess fat in order to be within normal limits. law.

Distraught owner Larry told News4 Oklahoma that she has never had a problem with anyone, let alone pets.

“All my neighbors and their kids love Larry,” she said.

However, the staff who were supposed to come to the aid of the pig do not seem to share the same view, with the video circulating on social media showing them desperately trying to remove it from the area where the vehicles pass, and only with the help of ropes to secure her, and also a towel to cover her head, they managed to do it in one direction, so the traffic returned to normal after a few minutes when everything was in chaos.

“The pig was successfully captured by Moore Animal Control with the assistance of the Moore Police Department,” according to a text message released by the Moore Police Department.
