PETA activist's nightmare

[Kiwon]

Meet a PETA activist's nightmare....

-11-year old boy
-lives in redneck Alabama
-attends a small, private Christian school (Jerry Falwell-approved fundamentalist school, no doubt)
-kills innocent animals (first deer at 5 years old)
-shoots the wild boar eight times with his pistol
-chases the wounded animal for three hours
-executes it with a point-blank shot (or is it "eunthanized?")
-participated in the slaughter of innocent trees in getting a backhoe in to remove the 9 foot-4 inch, 1,051 pound boar
-paid someone to decapitate the animal (54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout) so that its head can be mounted as a trophy
-is making 500-700 pounds of sausage out of the rest of the body

What to do with these young killers? How do we reeducate them? How would you like it for people to make sausage out of you? I give up. It's time for a soy burger.

I just saw the story on Yahoo...

Holy Crap!

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

What the hell are they gonna do with 500-700 pounds of sausage?

I hope they give it to food banks and homeless shelters or something, rather than just let it all go to waste.

Maybe they can have it made into brats and have a giant tailgate party!

Country folks have deep freezers. That boy's family and friends will be eating sausage every morning for the next year.

Are we sure this wasn't photo-shopped?
I had no idea these things existed!

To follow the trend...

It's real. A guy got one in Georgia a couple of years ago that was dubbed "Hogzilla." A movie is being made about that one believe it or not. Hogzilla had been a rumor for years before he bit the dust. There had probably been several Hogzillas over the years.

Like in some places in beautiful New England , the woods are thick throughout the South. There's no telling what critters are running around.

So glad I have a fenced-in back yard.

I just read an article in the morning paper about this 'pig shooting'.
My question is this, and I don't claim to be very knowledgable about guns, why would you go after an animal this size with a pistol?

The kid is only 11. Maybe he couldn't afford an elephant gun.

It IS rural Alabama...

That's mean.

There is such a thing as "high tech rednecks." That section of Alabama has a BMW factory and a $1 billion Hyundai factory as well. Chemical giants Olin and Ciba (Switzerland) are there as well as the only Splenda plant in the US. The Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville ain't half bad either.

I'm not from there but if it's good enough for Forrest Gump it's good enough for me.
