[♥ Tess]

I can't believe how huge that pig is!
i'm shocked it's existence wasn't breaking news itself

[Kray]

ROFL

xD


Pig is disgustingly huge. o_o

[SAF]

Wow, that things huge. Eight shots? O_O

Animal rights people aren't happy :P

[SunnyPie♥]

:o

Poor piggy~ D'=

[Tobi]

[Lucki]

YUM!!!
imagine trying to fit that pork roast on my plate!

[Donut]

Poor Mr. Pig. Rest in peace.

[Shezmu]

wow that pig is enormous =o isn't that like some rare species who is about to extinct or something =/

[Miyagi Rikku]

THATS A HUGE PIG!

Bacon good O__O:

[Donut]

I just find this so ridiculous... They discover a friggin' huge boar... From what I can tell not a very known species... And they decide to kill it. -.-"

[Kray]

The next step after this huge pig -


is pokemon.

[ToT]

Damn, it's nearly as fat as my dog.

[Miyagi Rikku]

you have a dog that weighs almost 1,500? XO

[ToT]

Na, my dog eats 3 of those every morning

[Rorschach]

wow that pig is enormous =o isn't that like some rare species who is about to extinct or something =/
No, it's just a feral pig (or a domestic/wild crossbread) that found an abundant food source.

[Miyagi Rikku]

Well the pig is a dead celebrity now T_T

[Kray]

I'm convinced, that was a person in a costume.

Convinced.

[L]

If so, then it can't be just 1 person xD Feral or not, that thing is enormous. If it is feral, then it's food source must have been readily available. I'm aiming towards a domestic pig gone feral.

[db]

Man, the comments on the page makes me sick. Animal Rights? Americans are bastards for shooting this animal? Oh noes, a young kid has a gun?! I r want meat.

[Olrox]

I don't have anything against hunting for food, but killing an animal like that is truly a waste. Also I would think twice about giving a gun to a 11-year-old, even if he's been taught to be careful.

[Rorschach]

Feral is when a domestic animal goes wild, plus wild boars/pigs are dangerous and can be a nuisance.

[Envy]

Poor pig... :(

Still I'd be freaked out if I saw it. XD

[phantom_ko]

I think killing this pig is wrong...If the pig was bred in a farm to be eaten then thats its fate. Although this pig lived naturally...it's basically if a pig came and killed your 70year old grandfather and is going to eat him :sad

[Seff vi Britannia]

Loled at the pig, loled harder at the comments.

[Miss M]

:o
poor piggy... =/

but he's really big... I've read some scary stories about big boars ;_;

[Kenta]

11-yr old with a gun, hunting or not, just isn't right.

[Rorschach]

So long as the kid know the safety procedures and is responsible i don't have a problem with an 11 year old (or whatever age) owning a gun or using a gun.

[xDemonDogx]

wtf hell of a big pggy

[TheRapist]

I would punch that kid straight in the jaw.
Why the **** did he kill it?

[Lady Ushio]

unbelievable :lol

[Harley Quinn]

Thats so unfair, that pig was a legend in it's own right.And what does it get for being big and badass?Killed and most likely stuffed.Plus who the hell teaches their kid how to use a gun at the age of five?I mean alright by now he's probably v.good with gun safety and all that but it's still pretty sick all the same.

[Grimjaw_Bankai]

jesus if i saw that thing in the woods i would shit my self let alone shoot it

[silverwolf801]

mmmmmm someones eating good tonight

[Kalashnikov]

LOL - massive pig. I hate pigs anyway so i'm happy he shot the damn thing :)

woo for the 11 year old kid with a freakin revolver in his pocket.

[DJamison]

They should have let the pig die naturally jerks...That was messed...

[M-50]

Eh that pig must have been OLD!!!!! to weigh freaking 1500 pounds.
nice one for the boy though and the pop. and the tonne of money they will make from 700 pounds worht of sausages and meat.

[II Xion II]

Hunting for sport (when not solely for survival) is a vile and cruel thing.

I heard the boy followed it around and shot it multiple times with a pistol while the thing was trying to get away.

If his family is so poor, that they need it to live, then that is fine. But to just kill something that enormous (and possibly rare in the U.S.) for a trophy is ridiculous. I'll mount that boy's head on my wall and see how he likes it. :) Man, the most cunning game of all.:Haha

[StoneTitan]

I remember seeing something on Discovery some years ago about these Giant pigs.

Im not 100% sure this one was one of the normal Pigs that just ran away... Or more likely a Cros breed with a boar.

Im not sure if this one is larger or smaller then the one mentioned in that show, i remember em diging after it, turned out not to be as large as the Hunter said, but still a very large pig.


@II Xion II

Hunting for sport i agree is vile, but some places it's needed to safe the original wildlife.

[Kray]

I lol at some of these responses.

"OH NOEZ!"
"OMG terrible!"
"OMG how could he!"

:lol
That's life boys and girls.

What did you expect?
A giant bonnie with a pink bow?
XD

[Gojira]

Damn, that thing was massive. Its almost prehistoric.

[Icestorm]

rofl.. crazy vegetarians on the site making such a fuss.. In Australia its practically illegal to be a vegetarian.. except perhaps if your a girl.. for a guy its worse consequences than admitting your homosexual. Im not saying that either is bad.. but those vegetarians on the site are idiots.

As for animal rights.. I couldnt give a crap.

[Alex26]

>.< so this guy was on a trip... and saw a record pig walking aroud... and he decided to kill it for the heck of it ... <_< why cant i do the same thing with my neighboor's cats and dogs. Plus he's not gaining any money either! I bet he could've gained something else besides sandwiches if they let the pig alive and...dunno, sell it on ebay O_O

[Rorschach]

Poor fred =(


FRUITHURST, Ala. — The Mystery of the Monster pig appears to have been solved.

The 1,051-pound hog, shot and killed by 11-year-old Jamison Stone and the subject of a world-wide Web firestorm over the photo's authenticity, really is...

Fred.

That's "Fred" the pig, and according to Rhonda and Phil Blissitt their humongous hog escaped on April 29, four days before it was killed, according to the Star newspaper.

Late Thursday evening, their claims were confirmed by Andy Howell, Game Warden for the Alabama Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

"I didn't want to stir up anything," Rhonda Blissitt said. "I just wanted the truth to be told. That wasn't a wild pig."

Her husband agreed.

"If it went down in the record book, it would be deceiving, and we'd know that for the rest of our lives."

The monster hog gained worldwide acclaim after he was bagged by 11-year-old Jamison Stone, a Pickensville native, with a .50-caliber pistol on May 3 at the Lost Creek Plantation, LLC, a hunting preserve in Delta. The big boar was hunted inside a large, low-fence enclosure and fired upon 16 times by Stone, who struck the animal nearly a half-dozen times during the three-hour hunt.

The saga of young Jamison's hunt spread as the family posted the story and photos on their Web site, monsterpig.com.

The Blissitts said they were unaware that the hog generating all the media attention was once theirs. It wasn't until Howell spoke with Phil Blissitt that the pieces of the puzzle came together.

Phil Blissitt recalled Howell asking him about the now-famous hog.

"Did you see that pig on TV?" Phil Blissitt recalled Howell asking him. "I said, 'Yeah, I had one about that size.' He said, 'No, that one is yours.'

"That's when I knew."

Phil Blissitt purchased the pig for his wife as a Christmas gift in December of 2004. From 6 weeks old, they raised the pig as it grew to its enormous size.

Not long ago, they decided to sell off all of their pigs. Eddy Borden, owner of Lost Creek Plantation, purchased Fred.

Attempts by The Star to reach Borden were unsuccessful.

While Rhonda Blissitt was somewhat in the dark about the potential demise of her pet, Phil Blissitt said he was under the understanding that it would breed with other female pigs and then "probably be hunted."

Many other of their former pigs — like their other farm animals — had been raised for the purpose of agricultural harvest.

As the Blissitts recounted the events of the last two days, they told stories and made many references to the gentleness of their former "pet."

From his treats of canned sweet potatoes to how their grandchildren would play with him, their stories painted the picture of a gentle giant. They even talked about how their small Chihuahua would get in the pen with him and come out unscathed.

"But if they hadn't fed him in a while," Rhonda Blissitt said, "he could have gotten irate."

Phil Blissitt said he became irritated when they learned about all the doubters who said photos of Fred were doctored.

"That was a big hog," he said.

The information of the pig's previous owner came out on the same day that officials from the Fish and Wildlife concluded their investigation of the hunt. They concluded that nothing illegal happened under the guidelines of Alabama law.

Allan Andress, enforcement chief for the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division, said they learned the hog's origin as the investigation unfolded.

"We were able to determine that he came from a domesticated environment," he said. "So, he was not feral to start with. Therefore, he would not violate our feral swine trapping and relocating rule."

Mike Stone, Jamison's father, contends that he was unaware of the origin of the pig. Before, during and after the hunt — and until late Thursday night, when contacted by The Star — Mike Stone was under the impression that the hog was feral.

"We were told that it was a feral hog," Mike Stone said, "and we hunted it on the pretense that it was a feral hog."

One thing to say - what a redneck! xD
Anyways, I think it would have been cooler to see in a zoo as the worlds largets pig or something. :S

[II Xion II]

So the kid did just kill it for the heck of it.

How nice to know.

Something that big should at least be put in a zoo where it can be observed, I mean how much of a chance does a 1000-lb pig stand against an armed father and son with motor vehicles.

I am sure that must have been quite a chase. :rolleye09

And people wonder why the South is always referred to as the most backward part of America.

[Guy]

How interesting! What a big piggy it was. And yet, the boy just decided to shoot it?? Wow, how utterly barbaric. He sees a giant pig as a giant trophy for his hunting skills. Although I eat meat, I find people pointlessly shooting down wild animals just for fun to be utterly barbaric and disgusting.

[Anubisrage]

OH NOEZ ITS HOGZZZZILLA!!!
RUN EBERYBOZYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
That pig is freaking HUGE!

Well, the article said that the boy claimed the pig put up a fight... replace it with "he wants to show off how macho he is" then.

Anyways, I've heard rumors that this was fake...

[DatLatina!]

[AmnesiaI]

[Livius]

[Miyagi Rikku]
