Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound ‘Monster Pig’
Wednesday, July 30, 2008


When a 1,000-pound wild hog was shot last year in Alabama, 11-year-old hunter Jamison Stone couldn’t have been happier. But his prize photos of the 9-foot-long boar have continued to cause a stink, one the Stone family can’t seem to shake.

The backlash has only grown worse, with one group calling for the hunters' prosecution.

"It is unbelievable what my family has been through over the past year," Mike Stone, Jamison’s father, told The Birmingham News. "It has taken 10 years off my life."

An online petition has garnered more than 800 signatures from around the world demanding prosecution for what activists are calling animal cruelty, according to the newspaper. Rhonda Roland Shearer, a New York City organizer seeking punishment for the hunting team, says it took three hours for the “monster pig” to die after the animal was shot 12 times with a pistol.

"My concern is that this case has brought a negative image to Alabama and to hunters who hunt ethically," Shearer told the News. Shearer has demanded investigations from the county and federal attorney’s offices and two conservation departments, but no charges have been filed.

“There are people all over the world who are outraged," she said.

The Stone family is feeling their wrath.

"You should see some of the emails and hear some of the calls we have received," Jamison’s father said. "They are explicit. They tell how they are going to kill my son, like cutting his head off.

"It has had us scared to death ... All I did was to take my son on a legal hunting trip."

The prize pig, shot by Jamison Stone on an Alabama hunting preserve in May 2007, was 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet, 4 inches from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.

If the claims are accurate, Jamison's trophy boar would be bigger than the original “Hogzilla,” the legendary 800-pound, 8-foot-long wild hog killed in south Georgia in 2004.

To answer the implied question, yes they can get BIG. REAL BIG. I have seen farm bred pigs in Iowa over 1100 pounds. 'Course it wasn't as nimble a mover as these wild boars look.

The pig might have been farmed raised but once released they go wild really fast. That thing was no longer a farm pig, but it was genetically engineered by people to grow that large....no true wild boar would ever get to that size.

I just wonder when the BBQ is for that thing. Could probably feed what....a few hundred.

As it was explained to me how these "arranged" hunts work, they just feed the animals at the same place every time, then when the hunt happens they drive up to the place they feed 'em, wait for a pig to show up, and shoot it.

Again, just how it was explained to me. Could be wrong.

Tell me this is fake, or I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep again.

Shazaam! Bust out the corn tortillas, the comal, the caso, the manteca, cilantro, the cebolla, the chile, the cervezas, cuz we'z gota buttload of carnitas! Perfect timing for my welcome home party!

You are just seeing that now?... that was almost a year ago?....

They had the kid squat down like 8 feet behind it to make it look bigger.
The body of that pig was burried and then dug up on some tv show. it was not as big as it looks but still big.
There was some website that showed other pictures.

What's the big deal??

I remember a few years back when I was really into the pig thing (this was down in Dallas) and just gotta tell you. I woke up,,,rolled over,, and when I opened my eye's she had to be at least that big and twice as ugly. Scared hell outta me.

Moral of the story is iffin ya get one of them southern raised hogs, you is in for a real rough ride.
