Pinky was not tortured for 40 hours, he was tortured his entire life. Penned up and fed for a single purpose ... to grow big enough to eat.

Pretty sure he was skinned, and most likely beheaded as well.

Sorry, but a caged animal for life being raised for the sole purpose of food stock is not even close to an animal that lives in it's natural habitat. I don't like trophy hunters, but comparing caged animals to wildlife thinking the caged animal is better is nonsense.
