POLITICAL PIGGY

A few years ago an enormous wild boar nicknamed `Hogzilla` by the press was shot in Georgia. Last week Naomi West in Texas sent us these pictures of a dead piggywig that rivalled the Georgia beast in size.

NAOMI SENT THIS: 'The hog weighed over 530 pounds. It was shot late this past November in the river bottoms of Deweyville, Texas. The road in that area runs parallel to the Sabine River. Residents in the area had never seen the likes of this hog. But it was probably the recent flooding in the area that drove the hog out.

It was shot by Brandon Powell, who is in high school, about age 17. The truck is a Toyota or is Toyota sized (vs. a full-sized truck).

There is a rumour that when some man named Frenchy passed away in 2000 or 2001, his surviving family released his exotic game animals into the wild. Allegedly, he had animals imported from exotic countries. People speculate this hog could have been from his farm.
