    PATASKALA, Ohio (WOIO/TMX) - An investigation is ongoing after a 75-year-
    old Ohio woman was fatally attacked and then eaten by her neighbor’s pigs
    on Christmas Day.

    Pataskala Police Chief Bruce Brooks told the Columbus Dispatch on Monday
    that it’s not yet clear whether criminal charges will be forthcoming in
    the case, which he called a “horrible, horrible situation.”

    Police were initially called to perform a welfare check on 75-year-old
    Rebecca Westergaard in Pataskala because she had not arrived as planned at
    her niece’s home in Norton, just outside Akron, and her family had not
    been able to reach her. Police arrived at Westergaard’s home and found her
    dead on her property near her house.

    Brooks told the outlet that he could not share many details because the investigation is ongoing, but said the two pigs responsible for mauling
    and eating Westergaard belong to her neighbor. The neighbor’s identity has
    not been released, and Brooks said it’s still unclear whether they will
    face criminal charges because the aggressive animals are livestock rather
    than dogs.

    “If it was a pit bull or a Rottweiler, or name any of the other 15 dogs
    that are deemed semi aggressive, then we would know the answer right
    away,” he said. “But being farm animals, it’s just not something we’ve
    ever dealt with here.”

    Brooks said police are consulting the Licking County Prosecutors' Office,
    and would share more information once Westergaard’s autopsy is completed
    in four to six weeks.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
    fiasco, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
