Nurse 'savaged' by Swinezilla
 A nurse has spoken of her terror after she was attacked by a giant pig which charged the horse she was riding and then savaged her after she was thrown to the ground. Suffering from broken ribs from the fall, Carolyn Robinson feared for her life as the enraged pig hurtled at her. The ferocious beast, which she describes as "huge", mauled the 51 year old and snapped at her legs as she tried desperately to fight it off while lying prone in a quiet country lane. The pig was eventually driven off by Mrs Robinson's worried teenage daughter, with the help of passers-by. Animal experts say the attack could have been deadly as pigs have been known to become violent if they feel under threat or when protecting a food source or their young. The animal is believed to still be on the loose in Hampshire's New Forest and police are urging people to be cautious and report any threatening pig incidents.
