Perhaps I’m being naive (I know nothing about the hog population of Georgia), but if I saw a 1,051-Pound Hog I’m not sure my first instinct would be to kill it. Catch it maybe. Photograph it definitely. I guess death is a better fate than state fair sideshow attraction. It just seems kind of sad, hoax or not. (Strange that a 3 year old photo is making the rounds just now)
I think my first instinct when seeing a 1,051 pound hog would be to run. Possibly up a tree or into an enclosed space. Or maybe just pass out. Loss of bladder and/or bowel control wouldn’t be out of the question, either.
Regular-sized wild hogs are scary enough; half-ton monster hogs are the stuff nightmares are made of.
That is what i thought–what a weird thing to want to kill something that old/big/cool. (Assuming it isn’t a hoax. That picture is weird looking.)
This story just gets stranger and stranger. It turns out the “monster pig” spent most of its life as a
pet.
Strange!
