Pugwash Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Saw this in the local paper. Wonder how the ribs taste? Mmmmmmm ribs. That's not Hogzilla. That's a challenger to Hogzilla's throne. By the way, the picture is using forced perspective to make the pig look a lot bigger than it actually is. The real Hogzilla has a movie due out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1022876/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physher007 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I can't believe that picture has gotten the coverage it has. It is clearly staged (forced perspective... new term for me) and the story is ludicrous. It all starts when a chubby 11 year old fires off a few .50 cal rounds into an extremely dangerous animal...

archibald Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 From the article: "Jamison...finished the sixth grade at Christian Heritage Academy..." "'It feels really good,' Jamison said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. '... I probably won't ever kill anything else that big.'"

KB Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 And you don't kill something that big with a pea shooter, not to mention the bugger would be coming at you that fast that even if you weren't crapping yourself you still wouldn't have time to get off a few shots.

Polynomial Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 OK you run at something really remarkable like this hog, and what you do, shot it? Great. It could have been a different story, "giant hog ate a stupid kid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physher007 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'd hardly call an S&W .50 a pea shooter... Though I don't know how big the peas in Oz get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Man, what a bunch of low-life white-trash f**ks... "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." ...."From his treats of canned sweet potatoes to the how grandchildren would play with him, their stories painted the picture of a gentle giant. The even talked about how their small chihuahua would get in the pen with him and could come out unscathed." Need one repeat it? Pigs are friendly, gregarious animals, generally as or more intelligent than large dogs. This one was raised as a pet and then hunted and shot (for three hours) by this bunch of degenerate gene-pool waste. Time for me to start hunting down some email addys - starting with the jerks at the hunting lodge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craytonic Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Wild hogs are not pets... they will chase you up a tree and can do serious damage with their tusks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Wild hogs are not pets... they will chase you up a tree and can do serious damage with their tusks. Amigo, read the links to the newstory (verifed since): this hog was no wilder than a pussycat. And that idiot 'Chirstian-schooled' redneck kid - excuse me, that fine young Southern gentleman - had to keep pumping rounds into it for three hours before it died. Furthermore (as if any were needed), it ain't no wild boar: it's just a plain barnyard pig, a hog - y'all know what I mean here? 'Scuse me, but where do I vomit?

ryyannon Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 From what I've seen of the pics, they were body shots - not intended for a quick kill, but to prolong the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Amigo, read the links to the newstory (verifed since): this hog was no wilder than a pussycat.

Furthermore (as if any were needed), it ain't no wild boar: it's just a plain barnyard pig, a hog - y'all know what I mean here? 'Scuse me, but where do I vomit? I'm sorry, I am just not finding it... I see "5-inch tusks, decided to charge. With the animal finally dead in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation" I am not commenting on the kid or him killing the pig... I have never encountered one personally but I know other hunters who have been chased up a tree by wild hogs. They are dangerous. I also never saw any reports on his accuracy so I would be hesitant to judge the shots. A .50 is a serious round and I don't think there is any report of where the first round hit. Someone released russian boars on some of our land and our fellow lesees had to exterminate them... they are a nuisance, not natural to the area, and destroy habitat. Good riddance.

ryyannon Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Gab-Dang, Craytonic! What or who are your sources - little Billy-Joe himself? I guess one's take on the story depends on whose version you're reading. Here's the local info: 'Monster Pig's' origins revealed By Bran Strickland Star Sports editor 06-01-2007 Rhonda Blissitt holds a picture of Fred the pig on Thursday evening while standing in front of the pen where she and her husband, Phil, raised him at their home in Fruithurst. Phil bought the pig for her during Christmas of 2004. Photo: Kevin Qualls/ The Anniston Star FRUITHURST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryyannon Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 The fat kid's father looks just about like anyone else's father - and not at all like the image shown above. For my part, I apologize to any of our members offended by my use of words such as 'redneck' and 'white trash' to try to objectify these people. The vast majority of rural Southerners are not 'rednecks'. The vast majority of Southern whites are not 'white trash.' Most hunters are not sadistic imbeciles. There are perhaps more accurate terms to designate those who tortured a hapless tame animal for three hours, but in the heat of anger - or our of ignorance of reality - we sometimes have a tendancy to fall back on simplifications and stereotypes....as doubtlessly did the boy and family involved in this poor excuse for a 'hunt'. Using the same mendacious semantic logic to justify high moral ground is only to repeat the fault that one is condemning in the first place. That said, the kid and his family are still a sorry bunch of revolting asshats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
