AS: pig thieves in paradise

I'm sorry to note that not all is well in American Samoa after all. My fellow Idahoan at Potatoes to Papayas has the story:

Pig Thieves

Just a few days ago, a heinous crime was committed in American Samoa. Three men were charged with killing and then stealing their neighbor's pig. For this despicable crime, they could face up to seven years for stealing, up to five years for property damage and up to six months for trespass. I mean, it's as serious as killing a human being down here, folks!

Poor Wilbur. I agree that this is serious business: one time in these parts, someone killed a neighbor's pig, and we almost went to war with Great Britain.
