MOON LAKE, Fla. —
An ostrich broke its leg and died after tripping over a neighbor’s pot-bellied pig, the bird’s owner said.
Robin St. John planned to mate her two ostriches, Agnes and Stanley, next year. But on Thursday, 7-month-old Agnes had a run-in with a neighbor’s 100-pound Vietnamese pot-bellied pig--and lost.
Agnes, valued at $9,500, ended up with a broken leg and died later in surgery. “I’m sure the pig didn’t mean it,” St. John said.
