Fred’s Dead!
Posted by Ryan on June 1st, 2007
It turns out that the huge “wild boar” that 11-year-old Jamison Stone (in picture) shot last week was not so wild after all! He was a neighbor’s pet pig, named Fred, who escaped and was taken down in the wilds of Alabama–shot for impersonating a wild beast. The pig’s human parents, Rhonda and Phil Blissett, came forward to assuage public’s concern that the pig may have been wild or even possibly a new breed of super-boars planning to invade Sprawlville, USA! (kidding)
I generally think that a half-ton wild boar hanging around the woods is a scary prospect since they are a fast and fierce delicacy. Not that a half-ton anything could really sneak up on anyone or anything, per se, it’s just the principle.
