The Hog from Hell?

Ok, I've known about people hunting animals for sport since childhood. But with this "kill" my definition of what constitutes an animal is under attack. In case you can't believe your eyes either, check out www.monsterpig.com and view more pictures that accompany the one to the left. An eleven year old shot this feral boar in the woods of Alabama. Several people have written into that sight to either congratulate the young man or admonish him for violating human rights.

In all honesty, I'm still too dumbfounded to be angry or excited. How could this boar have come to be? What in the HECK was this thing eating to get to be 1/2 a ton? And was it living alone?

Oh well, I guess there will be more barbecue for some one's Memorial Day!
