Pig Swallows Diamond From £1,500 Wedding Ring

A pig has swallowed the diamond from a woman's £1,500 ring. Ginger, a Kune Kune pig, clamped his jaws around the jewel after Anne Moon put her hand into its pen at Easingwold Maize Maze in North Yorkshire. When Mrs Moon pulled away, the diamond had gone. Now farmer Paul Caygill, who owns the attraction, has been given the task of sifting through Ginger's sty to find the gem. Mr Caygill said the pigs do not bite and he was surprised Ginger had grabbed the ring.
