The reason why it sucks that he shot it, was that it would be an awesome thing to study and understand how it grew so big.
You're going to personally subdue a 1,051 pound hog? Because anyone you go back to town to tell will assume it's a hoax unless you've got a body.
If scientists care about how the hog grew to such a size, they can take a tissue sample or look at the stomach contents. The body tells no less than the living hog.
I'm slightly concerned they're eating it, what if it got into growth hormone or something? They could get sick, but oh well, acceptable risk for 2 years of bacon I guess.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.
We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
