oh no no i wasnt offended - i dont mind hunting at all its a sport tha needs to be done to keep numbers down

i just didnt get that it was from hunting when i saw it i only read the first part

only other thing i would question is how long it took to die that little pistol doesnt look like it to do much to a monster like that an pobably needed numerous shots??

Becuase he could - it was on a commercial hunting preserve - so thats what they raise animals for.

I would think the pig would have better off being kept alive for breeding giant pigs or something rather then stuffed. But, that is just how I feel about rare and unuaual animals used for hunting or not. I think it is sad too.
