ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is not what DU is about.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 13, 2014, 09:37 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is 2 minutes of my life I won't be getting back.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Weâ€™re not going to waste anything,â€ Webb said. â€œThat pig will provide food for me and my family for a good year." We don't know anything about this man's circumstances, but the fact that he will be consuming it for a year tells me that he doesn't hunt just for the fun innit.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Perhaps the thread would be a better fit in the Outdoor Life Group, but discussions of hunting, feral/invasive species, firearms, and related issues are appropriate for and acceptable on DU. Many of us have an interest in these topics.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Considering the username of the OP, I would have to agree. Maybe the novelty of a 500 lb boar, perhaps, but this person posted it because gun.
