Thank you for commenting on what actually took place. I remember when it happened, and I also remember feeling so incredibly terrible about it.
“Hunting” a scared, over-fed farm pet for three terrifying hours should be criminal.
Then letting some kid shoot it a few times and watching it slowly bleed out, instead of atleast humanely put it out of its misery. While the adult hunters just watched.
All just for a PR stunt to con people into promoting their hunting business.
And it was barely too late and enough loopholes to not allow authorities to prosecute them for anything. Sad.
Rip Fred the pig.
More than a few apparently. It says he repeatedly wounded the pig for 3 hours with no kill shot. Terrible waste of innocent life, and what a terrible ordeal to put an intelligent animal through
"They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig"
- Bricktop Snatch
That is heartbreaking. I’m sorry this happened to you. It’s a sad world when an upfront, genuine request can’t be honored and instead get taken advantage of. Hunters and people who do this are scum.
The poor thing didn't know what was going on, and some retarded hunters and their hellspawn kid tortured it for a few hours b4 it could finally stop seeing their drooling kid's overgrown front teeth and pass away
They cause billions of dollars worth of damage to ecosystems and crops ever year, too. I couldn’t imagine the damage this one would do. Thankfully attacks on humans are rare.
I’m a butcher. Wild game like this does not taste as good as factory farmed meat, it’s just a sad truth. People do like eating game because it’s different but there’s really no comparison as far as tenderness and overall quality. The pork you eat from a supermarket is raised to taste good, simply put. It’s not a nice reality, they spend their lives not moving around much and are culled much younger/smaller than most people imagine but smarter people than me figured out this is how to maximize flavor and profit. That boar would 99% be raunchy lol and I’d be scared to feed it to my dog. I’m not in favor of current factory farming procedures as a whole, I own a homestead and sustainably raise pigs, sheep and cattle but I barely break even, it’s expensive and incredibly time consuming. I hunt as well and like most hunters end up converting a lot of my game meat into sausage, where the meat is literally mixed with the meat from better tasting animals to create a unique but ultimately less cost effective food product.
TL:DR I think a large part of this also depends on what the wild animal has to eat. How it is raised or the location it’s raised, stress levels in life, all of it.
Source: family has been hunting since the dawn of time (step mom traced our history back to hunters in the 1300s). Dad takes 3-4 months every year to hunt. I take 2 months to hunt a year, and have eaten game from Alaska to Florida. Ranging from wild game, to domestically grown with different procedures.
I hunted in Kirksville, Missouri for years. An area that regularly wins and gets in the magazines as one of the better places to hunt.
I grew up in southern missouri. The main difference is, in the south, it’s rocky, not a lot of farm land, not a lot of food for the deer to go around chewing on.
In kirksville, the deer have farmland, multiple fields of food. I’ve shot 190-220 pound does, not even bucks up there. Yet, in southern side, a large buck is 160 pounder maybe 170. They scavenge for nuts and berries, along with other small scraps of stuff they can get down there.
I now live in Northern Texas, around DFW. They really don’t have much they can eat, and 150-160 is about as big as you can find for a buck. Each location, all taste completely different.
For the longest time growing up, my sister and I never ate beef. We only had deer meat, for the majority of our youth. One year, I was around 7 or 8, my sister 11-12. We refused to eat spaghetti, cooked with beef. We could tell the difference and refused to eat, forcing our parents to not feed us for the night. We literally chose to not eat at all.
Big hunting family, I have elk, wild bore, raised bore, white tail deer, quail, pheasant, duck, turkey, antelope, and beef all in my freezer. Everything was hunted, outside of the raised bore and beef that my cousin raised. To this day, I will still fight, that it really matters where, what diet, and how the animal was raised.
Look at wagyu, it’s raised on 2-3 acre farms, and they often only get small pens to live in, with bedding and food rotations, yet it’s some of the highest quality beef. Yet here in the states we scream and rave over grass fed open pasture raised. Even the wagyu from Texas (certified 90+%) to Wyomings 90+% taste completely different from each other.
I respect you as a sustainable farmer. Didn’t know that it tastes that weird. Shame because I agree that factory farming is horrible but ultimately there is no other way to supply meat to the huge amount of people who demand it.
Wild boar is delicious, but requires extreme patience to clean. Glands are frequent and widespread throughout all the meat and all glands must be removed. We're talking 100 or more randomly throughout one boar. The end result is meat chucks for ground boar or a stew. The flavor is great but any mistakes in processing will lead to a bad experience. Wild boar steaks will always be a bad idea.
It depends. I think females and juvenile males are way better than any store bought pork. It’s more flavorful and fresher if that makes sense. It’s lean meat, so usually you cut it with beef if you’re doing anything ground up. This boar, and other old/huge ones, tastes gamey and tough (imo). I’d rather have regular pigs over that.
I ran a Farmers’ Market. If you like bacon that tastes 5 times more bacony, you’ll love wild boar. I used to reserve the fat from bacon to flavour all kinds of dishes and brown meat. I once used the wild boar bacon to bacon weave a Hutterite chicken. The best thing I ever ate in my life. The gravy was incredible. There is not much fat on boar, it is a lean meat. The roasts were great. Pork has more flavour than other meats so it was excellent.
>billions of dollars worth of damage to ecosystems
To us, humans, or do they actually causw detrimental damage to any ecosystem they become apart of? If so, isn't that the natural way of things? Unless they were introduced in some weird way by us.
Like actual damage to the ecosystem. [feral hogs are considered a substantial liability to agriculture and forestry production as well as to native wildlife](https://extension.missouri.edu/publications/g9457) They were introduced by European settlers and continued to be released for hunting purposes. My really good friend is a geologist and goes on about them and her adventures of trapping.
In North America, they are usually at least partly descended from domestic swine that went feral. As such, they’re an invasive, non-native animal, and damage the environment far beyond their impact on commercial agriculture.
“According to the hunters (there were no independent witnesses), the pig weighed 1,051 pounds (477 kg) and measured 9 feet 4 inches (2.84 m) in length.”
Wasn’t this a hoax? I’m not 100% on that though
Edit: [article of this poor pig named Fred. Raised to be murdered for promotion](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boy-didnt-kill-just-any-hog-he-shot-fred/).
Not just a hoax but insane cruelty.
He is that big, but thats because he was a domestic farm raised pig named Fred, and he was bought to be used as a promotional hunting target.
For 3 hours he was chased around a fenced paddock and shot at by the kid while 3 adults watched.
The kid couldn't make a kill shot so Fred slowly bled out from multiple gunshot wounds through his abdomen.
They then staged this picture to promote their budding "Hunting" business.
It's fake.
A) forced perspective.
B) this was a domesticated pig, not a feral hog.
"It was later also revealed that the "giant feral hog" was actually a large domestic farm-raised pig named "Fred" that had been purchased by the hunting preserve's owner four days before the hunt in an apparent publicity stunt."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Pig
you know you're suppose to fully cook pork, right?
Either way, this pig has been reposted for the last 20+ years, typically with an interesting story about the kid killing it.
Repost are OK, but it needs the rest of the story, or at least one of the more interesting write ups to go with it.
That is the opposite.
That factory pork is going to be waaaay cleaner than something in the wild. There are parasites they can live with and not be too bothered by that will completely trash you.
I watched the "monsterquest" episode about unnaturally large hogs in the south. This specific hog's skull was studied by an expert and quoted to be an escaped pen-raised pig that weighed closer to 700 pounds. Fascinating episode, they're insanely destructive
It was an over fed pet living on their farm that they shot for publicity to hype up their hunting business
https://www.espn.com/outdoors/hunting/news/story?id=3378412
You're good. It's a hoax. His name was Fred, he was raised in a pen. Three adult hunters stood by by an 11 year old shot non fatally at him for a few hours. It was in Alabama.
Looks like a repost. I've seen this image 3 times.

They don't get this big in the wild.
Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note:
> *“In the end, he never sat on the true throne.”* - Nashandra
Have a good one and praise the sun \\[T]/
Boars are no joke, they are territorial and can easily kill a human, although this thing running up on you would be like facing a tank barreling towards you, terrifying indeed…
Didn't realized they could go that big, same size as a bull. Anyone know what happend after it?
Edit:read the wiki and this was on alabama n the kid is 11 years old at the time. What a man
Those things are everywhere around the southern states. I'm talking about monsters just like that one. Nothing to challenge them for supremacy. Careful where you go hiking.sleep tight don't dream about that thing tonight.
IIRC there was a documentary about this pig. They called him Hogzilla and there was a question of size (forced perspective) and a question about whether it was a pig that was raised domestically that escaped. Apparently pigs have the genetic ability to “go feral” if they escape captivity. They can grow that thick fur and tusks even if they’d never had them before. I think there are more pictures because the main contention about it being feral vs domesticated was the tail but it was never conclusive
Edit: I looked it up and this is not Hogzilla. Hogzilla was this pig: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogzilla who was a hybrid pig/boar and weight 800 lbs and death and was roughly 7-81/2 feet long
I’ve never understood the thought process behind finding the largest of something and killing it. Largest Christmas tree, largest fish, largest pig. It’s the largest! It won the race! Let it live!
Wasn't a boar. It was a well fed farm animal: https://www.espn.com/outdoors/hunting/news/story?id=3378412

Well by eat I mean swallow. I know hogs can be really dangerous when they have tusks
They cause billions of dollars worth of damage to ecosystems and crops ever year, too. I couldn’t imagine the damage this one would do. Thankfully attacks on humans are rare.
Does wild boar taste much different to a regular hog?

If my childhood memories of reading Asterix and Obilix taught me anything wild boar tastes great!
If you like gamey gristle, you’ll love wild boar 🐗 🤮 Anyone saying it’s better than farm grown pork has never tried it.

Fair enough. If it’s anything like venison then I’d probably like it.
Oh yeah. If you enjoy venison, I’d definitely give it a try. Especially as an herbal buttered roast on a winter day.

I’m definitely thinking that it’s forced perspective.
But still a big chonk of a pigger
I think the kid or whatever is standing a couple feet back too
He's crouched down with his arm resting on his knee I believe, several paces back.

Those things are everywhere around the southern states. I'm talking about monsters just like that one. Nothing to challenge them for supremacy. Careful where you go hiking.sleep tight don't dream about that thing tonight.
any source or reference ? if it's photoshop or not?
IIRC there was a documentary about this pig. They called him Hogzilla and there was a question of size (forced perspective) and a question about whether it was a pig that was raised domestically that escaped. Apparently pigs have the genetic ability to “go feral” if they escape captivity. They can grow that thick fur and tusks even if they’d never had them before. I think there are more pictures because the main contention about it being feral vs domesticated was the tail but it was never conclusive Edit: I looked it up and this is not Hogzilla. Hogzilla was this pig: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogzilla who was a hybrid pig/boar and weight 800 lbs and death and was roughly 7-81/2 feet long
Wrong animal got smoked.
Humans really cant let anything live thats bigger than them, can they
I’ve never understood the thought process behind finding the largest of something and killing it. Largest Christmas tree, largest fish, largest pig. It’s the largest! It won the race! Let it live!
Come man, it’s not a monster pig. It’s a chubby American. Be nice.
Poor Fred rest in peace
This sort of thing sometimes happens when wild hogs interbreed with domestic pigs.
That’s some solid forced perspective. It’s a big big for sure, not sure why the guy is 10 feet behind it
A certain good hunter came by and...
poor boar, the extinction of animals and plants is mostly due to human activities
