CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. — An elderly woman is in serious condition after being mauled by a domestic pig earlier this week.

According to the Camden County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Scott Hines, emergency personnel were called to the residence in Montreal, Mo. on Monday, Aug 7. The caller, a family member of the woman who was attacked, told authorities the woman was in the pen with the pig. The caller said her arm was severly hurt but that the pig was acting aggressively and she could not get in the pen to help.

County Animal Control Officer Bill Ash responded to the scene along with deputies and medical personnel. Hines says they found the woman in very bad shape: an arm and a foot were mostly detached, and the woman was covered in bite marks.

“Thank God our animal control officer Bill Ash has some extended experience with pigs, so he was able to get that pig separated from the woman,” Hines said.

The woman was life-flighted to treatment.

Hines praised the teamwork between all the emergency responders in the dramatic and difficult situation.
