What I want to know is how the heck did manage to hang on to a .50 caliber plinker for eight shots! Those things don't exactly have a friendly recoil, ya know.
The boy must have big hands & a good grip.

I used to date pigs like that

That isn't all that far from me, The pictures are REAL!  It's been all over the news and talk radio around here, BUT what isn't being said much about, is the fact that the damn thing was TAME, was basically a PET and was used to people, and they just shot the thing several times over about 3 hours and let it bleed to death slowly.

SORRY people, I hope they are proud. The kid's dad claims he though it was Feral but it should have been obvious when you could walk up to it and start shooting.

Idiots. 

[Charger_Fan]

In that case, this story sucks. People who do mean things to animals for no good reason are lower that whale shit in my book.
Was it someone's pet that got out of the pen?

[ck1]

hmmmmmmm, well, our tree farm use to be a pig farm, and a boar unlike a sow would be really hard to tame unless they casterated him I guess, kind of like trying to tame a BULL,  alls I remember is one of the boars we had that wasn't wild was meaner then heck and bit the boot right off my dads foot while being chased in the pin, and the dam thing would start snortting when you got near the pen and run right through the fence to get at you........so my grandfather and my dad had to put it down for afraid it would get one of us kids............pretty amazing what I know of boars wild or not that it could be tame....guess so what the hell do I know

[Musicman]

The pig was farm raised in Alabama... To big to butcher, and knowone wanted it, including the owners because it was actually scaring people who would come to visit. They sold it to another big farm where it was released and then hunted down a few days later. The people who shot the pig did not know that it was farm raised. They have since contacted the original owners.

Mmm. I'm gonna go make some bacon now.

Do you guys know much about pigs? I've heard that a 250-lb "tame" pig can and will kick your a$$ and kill you pretty quickly so I would imagine one weighing over half a ton doesn't have too many friends. We're not talking about pot-bellied little lap pigs here.

Two words for us Canadians:

Robert Pickton 

For anyone who doesn't know that name:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pickton

He's been charged with the murder of 26 women and the RCMP believe that they were fed to Robert Pickton's pigs!

[Brock Samson]

  Some guy at my job liked to tell the story about some farm pigs in a pen that ate a kid that went in to feed em or some such story... i forget the tale's details  but he would trot it out when he wanted to impress someone...
i been to a pig farm and it ain't a thing i'd wanna do..

I do, we use to be pig farmers and your right bull, if you get in the pen with them and you don't have anything for them to eat, they will wine tell you start looking like food, the sows are ok most of the time but get pretty moody when they have piglets, I've seen them eat  chickens, ducks, I think one of our cats got eaten too and we almost lost a calf that our boar got loose and had him by the leg..................they were fun to chase and grab there tail then hop on there backs and try to ride them, they can really move!

Hey, I'm not bright enough to post a link to utube of a wild boar hunt that three hunters get charged by a huge wild boar were one of the hunters gets shot at from his other two hunters because he was in the way and or getting trampled and tore up by the boar.................can some one smart post that link here? think people would enjoy it and understand how dangerous an animal they are

[Mudhawg]

talking about hogs, the sows can be just as ornery as the boars.  I worked on a hog farm for 3 years and had plenty of sows tried to get me.  I just grabbed anything handy and started swinging.  We had one guy get hooked by a boar, 10 stitches in his thigh muscle and 10 on the outside to sew him up.
