My gilts breached their enclosure recently and beat a hasty retreat down the lane to Mr. Peabody's garden where they ravaged his cabbages. Fortunately, the Constable was making his rounds and discovered the miscreant behaviour of the errant porcine brood and he summoned the dog catcher to assist in capturing the lot and returning them into their fold. I was chastised for allowing the gilts to run at large and fined a fair amount.

My question is this; What do you deem appropriate in the way of discipline? I have already reduced their library privileges.

What will induce them to refrain from further misconduct? Would eliminating ice cream from their diets give me a psychological edge and a way of demonstrating my unerring Authority over them?
