Argentine real estate magnate, Federico Alvarez Castillo, received quite the shock while on vacation in Uruguay this week. A pig was thrown from a helicopter over his summer residence, crashing down into the pool. Castillo and his wife were inside at the time, when they heard a loud noise. ‘We went out to see what it was, we saw the disgusting action which caused us a great deal of upset as a very, very sick joke,” he said.

Video has surfaced of the incident. Showing the animal being thrown out a helicopter hovering above the residence. It is still unknown, if the pig was alive or dead before the prank.

The tosser of the swine was fellow Argentine Eduardo “Pacha” Cantón”. Cantón is also an empresario from Argentina. “I threw the pig… it was a joke that went bad,” explained Cantón .

After removing the animal from their pool, Castillo had the pig roasted and then ate it

The episode happened in the boho chic town of José Ignacio , Uruguay. A pueblo more used to celebrity clientele, not livestock, travelling by private helicopter .

Though no criminal charges will be filed, Uruguayan aviation authorities are investigating the incident.
