Florida students' hog apparently stolen, brutalized

BELLE GLADE, Fla. (AP)--A hog being raised by school kids in Palm Beach County was allegedly brutalized and stolen.

The adviser to the Future Farmers of America club at Glades Day School says students who cared for the animal found blood and rocks in its pen early Nov. 2. They believe the hog was stoned and pulled over the fence.

Several other pigs had cuts, also from apparent stoning.

The missing hog was going to be sold as a fundraiser. It was expected to command several thousand dollars.
