Hogzilla

| | Comments (1)



An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires.

Update:
  This turns out to be a 'canned' hunt'.  The pig was raised as a pet by a family and recently sold - knowing that it would be bred and then eventually hunted.  The guy who bought it contracted with the kid's father to enclose the monster in a fenced area and let the kid chase it around shooting at it - 16 times.  This was not a feral pig.  The father says he knew nothing about the origin of the pig.

I don't hunt.  I've gut nothing against hunting, but I'm still not a fan of canned hunts.   This family raised animal died in terror after being shot 6 times while being chased around an enclosure it couldn't escape from.

The truth of the story was found thru Mark in Mexico.
