Video - The Porky Predicament: How a Pig Almost Sparked a War!

Did you know that a pig almost sparked a war in the United States? In 1859, a pesky pig named "Mississippi" wandered onto a farmer's property in San Juan Island, Washington. The farmer, an American, was not pleased and shot the intruder. This pig's demise ignited tensions between the U.S. and Britain, leading to what became known as the Pig War! Soldiers from both sides showed up, but instead of fighting, they just built camps and enjoyed the scenery. Talk about a porky predicament! In the end, no one was harmed, but that pig sure caused some serious beef! What would you do if a pig declared war on you?
