Javelina Escapes Execution Thanks To Neighbors Prompt Action

Wild pig stuck between two of these bars

  Dang!  We missed a photo op in the hood when a small Javelina got caught in a neighbors gate trying to escape her back yard.  The gate pictured here features iron bars 3 1/2 inches apart. A confab ensued as several walkers including Kaz and myself joined the discussion.  A family with two youngsters in a stroller happened by ... to good effect it turned out because the dad helped another handy guy who also lived nearby succeed in prying the steel bars apart just enough to release the freaked out, now exhausted wild pig. 
  The javelina’s predicament resulted from jamming its head through two of the gate's bars but finding itself unable go forward.  Nor would its hind end slip through despite a desperate scramble that exhausted the poor creature.  The alternative of last resort was to shoot the critter.  Anyway, all’s well that ends well with neighbors helping neighbors help a javelina in distress.
