Re: The boy killing that giant fucking pig.

Apparently it's not that giant. It's big, but the pictures are photoshopped. Also apparently, they killed it in a safe enclosure, meaning it's not wild, either. They just drove to some "Shoot a fucking pig" place, and shot a fucking pig. How heroic.

(P.S., it looks like there's another one comin' right up behind him!)

You have to give those lying hillbillies credit, they seem to be able to run a computer.

It's STILL a big fucking pig, mind you. The weight is accurate. But it's not a "wild hog", it was a tamed, farm-raised pig that was sold by its breeder to a hunting enclosure. I don't have the same kneejerk reaction to hunting that a lot of people do. I don't have any desire to do it, but I don't immediately think less of those that do. But don't call your fat little ogre of a child a hero for killing a farm raised pig in a fenced in area, no matter how freakishly large it is.

It's not really hunting to shoot a helpless pig sixteen times in an enclosure. It could be more accurately described as 'target practice', also 'pathetic' and 'laughable.'

Doh: I think that shrimp is the one they call the "thumb splitter" shrimp for the injuries it inflicts on humans trying to pick it up. That was a pretty cool video!

Brad: I heard it was a giant pig, but it had just been purchased by that facility 4 days earlier. The farm that had owned it decided to get rid of all thier pigs and no slaughter houses would take a pig that large. As soon as it's released it's considered feral.

Yeah, that's the basic story that's been reported, as well. It was a farm raised pig, tame and docile, that was then sold to a hunting enclosure when the owner decided to sell off his entire stock. It may be "considered" feral, but that doesn't mean it is.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to imply that it is. Just relaying what I'd heard to be true.
I don't think there's much a 1000lb pig CAN do other than eat, crap, and sleep. :(

How dare you talk about the boy's father like that?! He can't help it if he ate the last giant pig they 'hunted' all in one sitting!

Brad's considered 'Feral' after a hearty mix of booze and his "magic" pills. :lol:
