Comment: why would Newsweek promote hunting boars by putting the pic of an 11 year old (??????) with a shot boar. What on earth are they trying to teach us here?? This is freaking disturbing

Comment: The owner of Lost Creek Plantation-- the canned hunting operation-- Eddy Borden, along with owners of Southeastern Trophy Hunters Keith O???Neil and Charles Williams, modeled their marketing scheme after the enormously successful Hogzilla shooting in Georgia that National Geographic turned into a 2005 record-breaking documentary. Their flimflam plan was to buy a dark hairy fat farm hog, and sell it to a greenhorn as a ???once in a lifetime??? opportunity. The advertisement promised that a 1,000 pound monster boar was ???roaming the wilds??? of the Lineville plantation even before they picked Fred up from the farm.

To save face, Mike Stone, Jamison???s father, continued to tell a heroic tale about what happened on May 3, 2007. However, the ugly bottom line still showed --and the public noticed. Mike Stone said that for three hours, Jamison repeatedly wounded the hog with no kill shot. Stone told me that a local TV station said to the hunters that "if they wanted a news story, only the boy could shoot the pig-- no adults." So the three professional hunters, Borden, Williams and O???Neil, armed with rifles, stood by for hours and watched as the hog eventually bled out in order to, ultimately, promote their hunting business.

Comment: Qtackett,
Imagine what damage that wild pig could have done though! Hunting is not my type of thing at all, especially when it is unnessessary, but hunting deer, rabbit, etc. when in season is fine with me as the animals could die of starvation otherwise. Did you also know that the selling of the 8 rabbits WAS NOT just for a profit, but to develop more to feed starving people in North Korea?

Comment: Isn't it sad that so many of the humans portrayed in this article on large animals are killing the animals or selling them for profit. We live in such a sick, violent society. Shame on the 11 year old boy who shot and killed that wild pig - and shame on the parents who told him that such behavior was okay.
