    Well according to the story in the email, the guy that shot it had no choice because the boar charged at him. So don't feel too sorry for it.

    Why am I not surprised to see the words "shot and killed" and "texas" in the same sentence?

    He has come to see with eyes unclouded by hate.

    Meh, faked... all the shots are obvious perspective tricks, pig closer to the camera than the people. Notice nobody standing side by side and on the same surface as the pig.

    There was a special about giant boars in America on History and Discovery channel not too long ago. I believe there were some very large specimens in it, some around this size. Nowhere near as large though.

    Totally faked. However, I look forward to the day when science will have advanced enough to bring us an actual pig that large, so I can eat it.
