That had to be quite a sight

 

Sumbitches will rip your legs open in a heartbeat, and if you go down they'll do their best to disembowel you.

Alabama man shoots 820-pound 'wild' hog in front yard

 

Upon further review ...

Monster Pig (or Pigzilla) was the subject of a controversial 2007 story that initially ran in the news media as a report (and a series of accompanying photographs) of an 11-year-old boy shooting a giant feral pig. The pig was claimed to have been shot during a hunt on May 3, 2007 by an 11-year-old boy named Jamison Stone. The location of the shooting was the Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve outside Anniston, Alabama, USA. According to the hunters (there were no independent witnesses), the pig weighed 1,051 pounds (477 kg) and measured 9 feet 4 inches (2.84 m) in length.

The story quickly ran into veracity problems with news organizations backing off on their coverage when inconsistencies in the story were revealed, including NBC, who canceled their interview with the Stone family when they suspected the story was a hoax. It was pointed out right away that the photographs of the pig released to the media seemed to be purposely posed and doctored to exaggerate scale. It was later also revealed that the "giant feral hog" was actually a large domestic farm-raised pig named "Fred" that had been purchased by the hunting preserve's owner four days before the hunt in an apparent publicity stunt. There was a 2008 grand jury investigation of the event based on charges of animal cruelty that was later canceled. ...

Later news reports brought forward allegations that the entire story was the result of a canned hunt scheme cooked up by Eddy Borden, the owner of Lost Creek Plantation, and Keith O'Neal of Southeastern Trophy Hunters, to build up business for the then four-months-old Lost Creek hunting plantation, trying to create their own news event along the lines of the 2004 “Hogzilla” event. Borden purchased "Fred" from the Blissitts for $250, released it in the enclosure, and passed it off as a wild hog to the unsuspecting Stones. It was also reported that they were told by a local TV station that it would only be a news worthy story if the boy shot the pig.

Then you have trained fish and wildlife people or law enforcement go out with those types of guns and kill hogs in problem areas. They can make extra money and you don't have to worry about safety issues.

 

Why are you bitching at me?

 

Early on here yesterday, a poster told us that he was sure no automatic weapons were used. Did we clear that up?

 

Almost 600 killed or injured. With that, and the audio that has been identified by several experts, I'd say it's pretty clear.

 

Or Gang Starr ...

 

Ridiculous slippery slope arguments truly are the refuge for the NRA crowd.

 

Why not lay land mines at the perimeter of the farm?

 

Kentucky ... a bitterly divided border state ... and not when the Union was in trouble, but when the Union was approaching victory ... but I'll concede the finer point.
