HARARE, ZIMBABWE – AUGUST 01: Piglets at Ivordale Farm on August 1, 2018 outside Harare, Zimbabwe. Commercial farmer Andrew Pascoe runs the 330-hectare farm east of Harare. His father started the business in the 1950’s. The farm grows wheat mostly, maize and Soya Beans, with a dairy herd of 170 cows, a further 280 for beef, plus a piggery with 1200 animals. Before the land reform ‘initiative’, Mr Pascoe owned 1725 Hectares but was left with only 224, only 60 of which that was arable. He currently runs the 60 hectares of his own land, with the rest falling under a ‘joint venture’ programe. In 2000 the then President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, ran a land reform program that aimed to redistribute the farm land mostly owned by white Zimbabweans, to black subsistence farmers. The policy was seen as a disaster, with around 4000 white farmers forcibly removed from their farms, often violently. The policy crippled the agricultural sector and subsequently contributed to the collapse of the economy as those that took over the land lacked the knowledge to run the businesses.

Thanks to TV, when you think of life as a cop, you think of high-speed chases and busting down the doors at drug dens. While there's a bit of that, there's also a lot of boring paperwork. And then sometimes you get a day like deputies in San Bernardino had on Sunday.
A pig, described as "the size of a mini horse," got out of his house and started running amuck on the California streets.
The sheriff's department was called out to capture the monster beast and bring it back home. Apparently several people had been calling the police, so they knew where the pig needed to go back.
The quick-thinking cops used a bag of Doritos that one officer had included with her lunch to lure the animal back to its pen, calling the entire encounter, "fun."
