Up until now i had thought that Hogzilla was the ultimate “wild boar bullshit story” but Monster Pig tops them all. On May 3, 2007 Jamison Stone’s name would forever be remembered for shooting a 1,051 pound “wild boar” later found out to be Fred, a farm-raised pig sold to Lost Creek Plantation only 4 days earlier.
“his favorite treat was canned sweet potatoes”
This pig was shot in a fenced in 150 acre section of the 2,500 acre game reserve. Jamison Stone shot this pig with a Smith and Wesson 500 handgun. The image that you can see above has been very controversial. Many say the above image compared to the 11 year-old boy would make that pig 15 feet long weighing well over 1,500 pounds. The images perspective was clearly altered either making the pig seem unproportionality larger than the boy or making the boy appear to be smaller compared to the pig. That could have been done using simple image editing software like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.
I hope Jamison knows that his name will be remembered like José Canseco’s is for baseball, not for being the best but for cheating the system.
