Giant Hairy Cow-Eating Pig Shot In Australia
THIS is a picture of a 220kg giant feral pig shot on a Pilbara cattle station after it was spotted eating a cow.
This is a picture of a fake giant pig that has been causing pig enthusiasts to have a cow.
Western Aaustralia’s Department of Environment and Conservation says the picture is a hoax.
The Sunday Times says the pig was shot on a Pilbara cattle station near Newman, 1200km northeast of Perth.
The man in the picture (right) is Pilbara pastoralist John Anick. The picture was taken on his property in 2006. No MPs wer harmed during its taking.
Readers may recall the giant big of Alabama – Hogzilla:
“IT feels really good,” says Jamison, of Pickensville, posing beside Hogzilla. “It’s a good accomplishment. I probably won’t ever kill anything else that big.”
So this pig is a fake?
The family refused to talk about the giant boar earlier, for fear that illegal pig hunters would flock to the area.
Says Mr Anick:
“I can vouch 100 per cent, I don’t even have to say 90 per cent, that it (the photo) was taken in the Pilbara and it is who I said it is.”
Or I’m a porkie workie…
