A woman was attacked and killed by a group of feral hogs Sunday morning outside the Southeast Texas home where she worked as a caretaker, authorities said. Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said in a press conference Monday that Christine Rollins, 59, arrived around 6 to 6:30 a.m. when she was attacked at the Anahuac home, located 40 miles east of Houston. The 84-year-old woman who has been under her care for almost two years went outside and found Rollins in the front yard between her car and the front door, Hawthorne told reporters. He said Rollins had a severe head wound and several other injuries consistent with different sized bites indicating multiple animals were involved.

Perhaps she only heard about "pot bellied pigs" as pets. I was warned early on in my life and through reading books, that wild hogs are dangerous. I wouldn't even trust a pack of domestic hogs. I was told, they will eat you. We were down in Big Bend National Park, way down by the Rio Grande river in Texas camping. We were sitting outside with our dog when she started to bark, we turned around and there were a pack of javelina’s bearing down on us. We flew into the camper just in time. If it wasn’t for our dog we wouldn’t even had known they were there!
