A have an uncle who owns 500 acres in NW Wisconsin he uses for deer and bear hunting. A couple of years ago, some boars escaped from a a game farm adjacent to his property, but he was not told about it. He ended up shooting 2 of them basically in self defense. The scary thing was that earlier in the year, his sons and grandchildren had been out walking on the property unarmed, not knowing there were wild boars on the property. It could have been a real tragedy.

All I can think to say, is OH MY GOD!

Aren't those the things that hurt 'old yeller'?

Wasn't the shotgun the thing that hurt Old Yeller?

Come on, did you not watch the beginning? Or middle, or whenever the pig-things attacked?

Actually didn't he get the rabies from a wolf and not the pigs? Gosh, why I can remember stupid things like that is beyond me!

[BallHawk]

GB's, right. Yeller protected the family from a wolf and thus developed rabies.

RIP, buddy.

How did our kids go from being shown "Old Yeller" to "An Inconvenient Truth" in school?

Did you hear the story about the Canadian HS student who was shown the movie four times in four different classes? He probably got so paranoid that he was afraid flipping the light switch would wipe Brazil off the map.

Yes, there was a bad wolf. But there were also pigs. Pigs that attacked.

True. And an angry Momma Bear too. Ol' Yeller was quite the contender, winning many bouts until he came up against "hydrophobia" and the black powder rifle.

Chaos reigns!

There are claims that the photos were doctored.

"Still, StinkyJournalism.com enlisted the help of a retired New York University physicist, Richard Brandt, who offers what he says is a "technical analysis" of the Stone family's claim. The site also claims to have evidence that other photos on the family Web site were doctored to make the feral hog look bigger than life."

The family is standing firm that everything is on the up and up. -

The family is having a good time with this. The photos are there. There's obviously nothing to hide.

There's a link to both positive and negative comments. The "tolerant" crowd sure has a lot of encouragement for the 11-year old. Lots of kind words about Christians, Alabama, rednecks, the Bible, etc. To them a wild boar has more value than Christians or Southerners do.

I feel vindicated!!!! Did I not suggest that the photo had been photo-shopped early on???
I knew it.

Yhello? Did you go to the website and look at the pictures? Seeing the other photos helps to put the size of the animal in a better perspective. There's no photo-shopping going on.

Yes, that hog produced a lot of fertilizer in its lifetime.

Both of my grandfathers were farmers, so as a boy, I had introductions to shovelling animal manure. Pig manure had no respect for names:

cows produced "Cowpies."

horses produced "Hose apples."

sheep produced "Sheep dip."

pigs simply produced "Pig shit."

I didn't mind shovelling the cow, horse, or sheep manure. The pig droppings were simply disgusting. Never again!

The carcass hanging there is nowhere near as large as the one the kid is posing behind. Or the one being fork-lifted.
