A while back there was a show in which they explored what occurs when farm hogs are released into the wild. Basically not only do they turn feral but their physical appareance changes to that of a wild hog. Wish I coud remember which channel it was on.

I'm not sure what grounds they'd have to sue on. Sure it's a pet and I'm sure they loved it but it had apparently escaped and was fair game. I have to wonder if it got helped into the hunting area though, last I knew hogs couldn't fly over fences.

Unless, of course, this pig could actually fly, in which case we should be prepared for all sorts of bizarre stuff to start occurring.

No, just forced perspective. The boy is several feet behind the hog.

According to archosman's post, the pig was sold to the plantation that organized the hunt. It wasn't escaped or 'broke into' the hunting area.

Correct!...

Phil Blissitt told The Anniston Star in a story Friday that he bought the 6-week-old pig in December 2004 as a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda, and that they sold it after deciding to get rid of all the pigs at their farm.
