A California family is mourning the death of their 400-pound pet pig Princess after it was slaughtered by a neighbor who'd agreed to watch the animal after it got loose while police searched for the owners. Princess vanished from her home in Humboldt County on March 23 and was later found nearby in a neighbor's yard. The Acarta Police Department, which is used to responding to loose livestock, responded to the home to help the Hampshire pig’s owners, SF Gate reported. An officer asked the neighbor if he would watch over the pig while police searched for its owner, and cops say the neighbor agreed. It was easy to find Princess’ owners, who were also looking for her; and an hour later police returned to the neighbor’s house, only to arrive at a gruesome discovery.
