Good call on that. Definitely the beast is huge. I just read about snopes, and it appears that there is another controversy about the pig being raise as a "pet" by a breeder and sold to the hunting preserve to be hunted. Crazy!

But as has been pointed out elsewhere (snopes? boingboing? can't remember), this picture is a tad misleading: the guy is standing back away from the hog, and then posing to look like he's leaning on the thing. He's not. The other pictures of the kill show it in a more realistic (but still gi-normous) proportion. Monster pig is indeed extraordinary.
