Nassau Police said that an apparently intoxicated female climbed into the racing track with pigs early Sunday morning after day one of the Bellmore Street Festival.
Cops said they received a call just after midnight about pigs wandering unattended in their racing pen in the carnival portion of the festival. Officers responded to the scene and found a female, who police said appeared inebriated, had climbed into the track with the animals.
Cops said that they helped her get out of the pen, and the owner of Robinson's Racing Pigs, which is stationed near the intersection of Bedford Avenue and Sunrise Highway in the Long Island Rail Road parking lot, was woken up to tend to his animals.
Police added that it's not known how the pigs were released from the trailer they were being kept in, but a latch on the door was opened.
"We were just worried about someone stealing the pigs," police added. "Thankfully, we were able to get to them before that happened."

It was a perfect plan, imperfectly executed.

Natalie. I am so sorry to read this. I too have a little 5 yr. old dog who I love desperately...…Read More and I feel your pain. There is another website for an organization that does an amazing job finding lost pets. It's LOSTMYDOGGIE.COM There is a small fee, but they get signs up all over the area and have a phone system set up where everyone in the area of where she was lost gets a PHONE CALL ALERT message to watch for Molly. They leave a phone number and their website address so if anyone has seen her or has her they know where to call. Great system! Check it out! I've never used them, but I HAVE received calls myself recently on 2 separate lost dogs and I've seen the many photos they hung up in my area in Levittown for dogs lost within a few miles of this area. In other words, they DO what they say they will do to help find Molly. Just want you to know what is out there to help you bring Molly home. My grandkids go to school around Grand and Camp Ave. We'll be watching for her! God Bless and good luck! I'm sure she will be returned to you real soon!!
