Its the pics that everyone is questioning. If they wanted to show the actual size they would have had the kid sitting on it or beside it. NOT several feet behind it to make it loook bigger than it really was.

The big boar was hunted inside a large, low-fence enclosure

Of course hunting him in an enclosed fenced in area sounds a little fishy as well.c

Nothing in the article said the pig wasn't big.

Nothing about it not being big.  He's definitely a few feet behind the piggy with his arms across his knees instead of resting on the hog, as they want it to appear.

Kind of sounds like hunting a cow.  Pet pig in an enclosure, (probably a biiiig enclosure), shot 16(?) times?

Why don't people hunt cows? Steers?  :D ;)
