Pigs in the city! Circus pigs make a break for it

First, it was a chimpanzee on the loose. Then it was a horse in the backseat of a car. Now we have pigs on the loose in downtown Kansas City -- just like Babe: Pig in the City. Fox 4 ran the photo above, taken by Erika Van Tuy, on its website.

Fox 4 reports that the pigs were spotted at 14th and Wyandotte last night around 10. The pigs made a break for it after performing in the Ararat Shriner Circus. They were eventually wrangled up by circus workers. Also check out another photo at KMBC Channel 9.
