Residents of Axedale, Australia called authorities when they smelled what they believed to be a gas leak. Firefighters responded to the home and found a 120 kilogram pet pig, which they believe to be the source of the gas.
The pig's owners are embarrassed over the incident and refused to let the pig be photographed. Link -via Arbroath

"She got very excited when two trucks and 15 firies turned up and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted," said fire chief Peter Harkins.
"I haven't heard too many pigs fart but I would describe it as very full-on."
Mr Harkins said the family had done the right thing by calling 000 to report a suspected gas leak: "It's all bottled gas up here and a leaking cylinder could pose a major fire risk.
"It was because we took it so seriously that 15 volunteers still managed to attend the call out at 10.30 on Tuesday night."

Please everyone, learn the meaning of words before you use them.
Sorry, but bleh.
Gotta love the first two comments: the trolls are feeding on each other now?
That said, this kind of stuff always seems to get into the hands of those repressive regimes that just cant allow freedom of speech under their rule. But I guess it's better than being hosed with bullets.
Repressive regimes don't generally bother with non-lethal weapons...that's why they are 'repressive'.
And it looks like commenter #1 is astroturfing for commenter #2.
But whatever.
Oh you know the officier manning the water cannon is totally gonna be aiming for people's mouths.
Simple. Because it won't kill the civilian (and that is inevitably who it is used against, citizens), police tend to use it more and more often, for lesser and lesser reasons. Eventually, they are used as punishment, again, for lesser and lesser reasons. See the abuse of tasers in the US.
This kind of thing should only be used on the battlefield. Civilians, no matter how belligerent, shouldn't be subject to such attacks. Either shoot them or arrest them. Don't punish people without a trial.
