Comments Related To: A Monster Pig of 11 feet killed by an 11 years old boy.

this is an old story from 2007.  here is the link from fox: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,275524,00.html

So what! It is a good news and first time coverd by allvoices. ;)

It is a hoax and it is reported here as if it were legitimate news ...that is not ethical. Do your homework.

If you are saying this to make me afraid,  I am not. I want people to review and test my facts. It's easy. If I am wrong I will admit it. I am grateful and will credit anyone who takes the time and trouble to look at my work and finds errors . We all make mistakes. Truth and accuracy are everyone's business. We all have to work together. 

However this case is different. It is a hoax. You may not have a problem with people schemeing to trick the public for profit and mistreating a boy and an animal to do it--but I do.

Certainly hope you never, ever, make a mistake with your stories Rhonda after giving such harsh criticism so publicly.

This story has been debunked as a hoax long ago. The photo is an optical illusion  photo employing "forced perspective" --a typical fisherman's trick. The key is to pose way back from the game or hold the fish far in front . The prey looks large and you look small because you are further away. Go to :

In addition, the "monster pig " was in reality a gentle farm hog named "Fred."

The hunters even allowed the pig to bleed out instead of putting it out of it's misery. The boy tried and failed to kill the animal for 3 hours, shooting it 9 times. The professional guides did not want to shoot the animal themselves because they were told by a local TV station that if anyone but the boy shot the pig, there would be no news story.

The press were even invited to attend the hunt but never fessed up. This was not hunting but a publicity stunt gone wrong that led to animal cruelty.

Read the true story on ESPN http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/latest-journalism-news-updates-123.php  and  http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/latest-journalism-news-updates-129.php

I cant believe u waited ur time to come here and piss others

ahhhhhh

its a great story no doubts! leave the boy in peace

The truth needs to be known. It is unethical to run this old news story as if it were true when long ago it has been debunked. People have a right to knwo the truth.

I am telling it. Why would that make people angry?

Please do contact the team. I have asked you to correct your errors of fact.

The boy can hardly be left in peace while the father still has the web site up.http://www.monsterpig.com. The father has the boy flaunting his use of a giant hand gun. No remorse for the terrible way "Fred" the gentle pig was killed . Painful belly wound with 9 shots over a three hour period is not hunting.  No adult put the animal out of its misery because the news media told them "no news story" if any adult shot the pig.

To me.. Rhoda u are just a jelous, he got many views!!!!!

its a great story, doenst matter if its old or not, he is the first to cover

why dont u keep busy findind news? stop caring about others lives ok??

The problem is not that the news is old but that it is wrong.

It is well known that the pig is not wild and was a gentle farm animal . Do you want to read news that is wrong?

That is untrue. I am not seeking views. That, with all due respect, is silly. It is a great story when you realize the truth--that the the global public was hoaxed by AP.

I can not believe that you are defending fake news? I say this because most people do not. Before I added comments, people would be fooled by what is falsely presented as true here on this web site. 

Unless this news site and the people who write on it care about truth and accuarcy, it will be doomed to fail. 

uzair u should contact allvoices cuz this guy is insulting u with personal posts.

I agree with u Carol.

Get a life Rhonda! Why dont u be busy with ur news?

And . pleeze, get your facts straight. Even the monster pig hunters said the hog was 9. 4 feet long--not 11 feet ! Please correct your error.

Check your facts!  Go to http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,275524,00.html.

Every news report says 9 feet 4 inches as the monster pig's length.

I see your point. However, you have to research what is the last or most recent updated reports. This is important because errors just get repeated over and over again.

Think about the recent "Big Foot" hoax recently in the news. People believed it for awhile...then more facts came out and the culprits even admitted they tricked the public...you can not now go back to the original first reports and say it is okay to post as legitmate news .  That would be wrong. See  "Big Foot discovery is a hoax"

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/08/080818-bigfoot-dna.html

So take the key words "monster pig" or any other key words in a report you want to post and search for the most recent stories before you select something to post here or anywhere.

Just because you are re-posting news does not mean you are not ethically bound to do reseach before posting.

There are so many errors in the news, this is the least you can do.

Its inaccurate for u not for other people here. So keep on with ur theory we are enjoying this news

u are being boring now

why dont u stop? U should be worried in finding some nice news to put here

I wont waste my time anymore replying to u

Hello Uziii, I think u should contact Allvoices Team to report this abuse from him

u put a nice news and just he is complaning, but in fact he just gave u more views :P

How can posting inaccurate news be "nice"? Read the headline of this report. Go read the FOX News link. The 11 feet length is WRONG. The pig was, according to all press reports and the hunters as 9 feet 4 inches.

Why are you defending obvious errors of fact as okay with you and worse something you need to go to management about?
