ISHPEMING TOWNSHIP -- Brandy and Tony got Caesar the miniature potbelly pig two years ago.
"He instantly became one of us, he cuddled and slept in our bed," said Brandy Savelle, Caesar’s owner.
"Just like another dog," added Tony Gervasi.
They recently had a baby and have been training Caesar to be outside. Last Thursday, they posted on Facebook that he was missing. They began searching and found some of his footprints leading to blood.
“When I followed the prints and saw where Moose (her dog) was it was like a puddle of blood, at first I didn't believe it,” said Brandy Savelle. “I just started screaming for him."
The Department of Natural Resources regularly does patrols through rural areas. That Thursday, their officer came upon a pig on state land and according to law, they can shoot pigs because of their ability to carry disease and damage property.
"It's important to say that while it’s not unusual to see a pig and shoot it,” explained Peter Wright, District 1 law supervisor for the Department of Natural Resources. “What was unusual was the fact that this turned out to be a pet."
The DNR believes that their officer acted justly because he believed Caesar to have been a feral pig and he had no identifying marks to distinguish him as a pet.
"I want to make it very clear that it's never ever, ever the department’s position that we want to shoot people's pets,” said Wright. “If he had any inkling it was a pet he absolutely wouldn't have shot it. But at that point he didn't know that and he was just doing his job."
"To just shoot without identifying the target, I don't think that's what they should be doing," said Tony Gervasi.
Caesar's body was taken to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services to be tested for disease and after will go to Michigan State University for diagnostic testing. Brandy and Tony are still looking for answers for their loving, friendly, and food loving pet.
"We just don't want it to happen again,” explained Savelle. “If it was that big of a mistake then we would like to see better training. Let's learn to identify not just pigs, but all pets."
