Enrique Gili is a freelance writer covering Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (An 11-year-old Alabama boy made headlines over the week end after allegedly killing a giant feral pig so large there is widespread speculation that the story, and its accompanying picture, could be a hoax.

The animal dwarfs "Hogzilla", the famed wild boar killed in south Georgia in 2004, which is now the subject of forthcoming, and assuredly bloodcurdling film. Hogzilla was a mere 8 feet long. The story of the slaying of the Alabama hog, takes a bit of swallowing, as will the hundreds - of thousands - of sausages its killer's father says are now being made from it. ( The Independent)
