Pig Capture not successful. Bug/ Feature?

I've tried to capture at least 3 scrumptious pigs this test to replace the ones that died since last test.
All failed to be captured, but the bait was gone, too.

All were on streets where I could still capture pigs.
I had bait.

Waddapwidat?
My bait no good now?

  • Did you reload your browser and check again? It might be the same bug that causes newly incubated babies to not show up immediately but appear after a reload.

    I had a couple of pig capture attempts fail, but I figured it was a feature and not a bug since an immediate second attempt (can't remember if it was the same or a different pig on the street) was successful.  I figured that my glitch, while knowing how to capture pigs, isn't a pro (and even they can mess up from time to time), so the piggy wriggled free, but since there was an attempt to capture it, the bait was used up.

  • I also suspect it may be a feature as I believe there was a 'you tried to capture a piggie but it escaped'-type message.

    If it is intentional then my question is- what's the purpose?
    It's frustrating, confusing and expensive as the bait is lost.  It's also the only random-failure thing that has happened to me so far in glitch.

    Other things that you try to do but fail seem to have reasons, like 'you tried to pet a seedling but this seedling doesn't need any more petting' or 'you tried to drink whatever-drink but your mood is already great so then you didn't ".
    Not capturing a pig for no reason and losing the bait just seems... mean spirited.

    I bought 5 pig baits and ended up with 1 piglet to take home.
    That was an expensive pig.
