This article has eliminated some of the details.

This is NOT the story that the original owners first told reporters.

This pig was a domesticated pet and was a pet, they said. It had been taught to trust and love people. Fred played with the original owner's grandchildren, and their tiny dog. They fed him canned yams as a treat. He was a gentle, loving giant.

Now that they are being criticized, their story is changing.

Please read about 'canned hunting.' This is not hunting. This is psychopathic activity.

revelations, and I agree with you, hunting a domesticate 'pet' is a travesty.

Oh yeah, a travesty. It's the worst thing ever to happen. I'm going to make a ribbon out of a piece of bacon.
