Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�

When a 1,000-pound wild hog was shot last year in Alabama, 11-year-old hunter Jamison Stone couldn�t have been happier. But his prize photos of the 9-foot-long boar have continued to cause a stink, one the Stone family can�t seem to shake.

The backlash has only grown worse, with one group calling for the hunters' prosecution.

"It is unbelievable what my family has been through over the past year," Mike Stone, Jamison�s father, told the Birmingham News. "It has taken 10 years off my life."

An online petition has garnered more than 800 signatures from around the world demanding prosecution for what activists are calling animal cruelty, according to the newspaper.

Rhonda Roland Shearer, a New York City organizer who investigated the incident, said the pig suffered a "cruel and painful death," the result of 16 shots from a low-velocity weapon, nine of which hit the hog.

Shearer claimed that no charges are being pressed against the hunters because the Alabama statute of limitations on animal cruelty has already elapsed.

The Stone family disputes that any crime was committed in the first place, yet the family is feeling the wrath of some critics.

"You should see some of the emails and hear some of the calls we have received," Jamison�s father said. "They are explicit. They tell how they are going to kill my son, like cutting his head off.

"It has had us scared to death ... All I did was to take my son on a legal hunting trip."

The prize pig, shot by Jamison Stone on an Alabama hunting preserve in May 2007, reportedly weighed 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet, 4 inches from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.

If the claims are accurate, Jamison's trophy boar would be bigger than the original �Hogzilla,� the legendary 800-pound, 8-foot-long wild hog killed in south Georgia in 2004.

Digging a little deeper, it appears that this was probably a "canned hunt" and why not much has been published about it.

Aren't they pumping up these pigs with steroids?

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I believe that part...
People are so dumb...
they care more about that pig than they do about the kid!

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I read an article about these hogs. A professor that has studied hogs for many years states that wild hogs teeth grow differently and are spaced differently than domestic hogs.

These huge hogs killed by hunters are from domestic stock not wild feral hogs.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Sounds much like "hunting" a cow...

...but still not having enough competence to produce a clean kill. A joke all around.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I am still at loss...... why are people getting freaked?


The dad said it was a legal hunting trip......so what the hell is up with this petition thingy?:confused_ma:


Hunting is hunting.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

It was a legal hunt, though obviously unethical. The "outfitters" were the main ones to blame in the whole deal. The boy and his dad didn't know that it was a domestic hog until after the fact. The dad went after the publicity still thinking it was a real wild hog, and probably went a little overboard even then.

The one thing the dad did wrong was give the kid a handgun that he couldn't shoot well. They should have let him hunt with a rifle, or at least made sure he could shoot the handgun well.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Rabid Animal rights freaks are making threats against a Kid.

This just proves the mental instability and moral bankruptcy of these Animal rights groups.

On the Hunt side-- I think this was a fattened up Hog let go for the hunt. I may be wrong but its what I read or heard.

E-A

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Ummm, it is a pig,it was going to be killed anyway.

People are weird,if the family had bought it,taken it home,shot it in the head and butchered it would people care????

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Animal rights activists are some of the biggest terrorists there are.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I will preface this by saying I am a vegetarian.

In my opinion, this kid, his dad, and the outfitter are scumbags. Basically they took a domestic, tame pig and let it loose in a 150 acre fenced in area. The outfitter bought this pig 4 days earlier from a guy who said that he had raised it as a pet and his grandchildren liked to play with it and feed it sweet potatoes. Then they went out to "hunt" it, with the kid armed with a handcannon that he obviously couldn't control.
He shot the pig 9 times, and had to chase it around this area for 3 hours from the time the pig was first shot, to the time it died.


Afterwards, they released photos which have been provent to be photoshopped, to make the pig look larger than it really was. They also claimed the pig weighed 1051 pounds, even though the scale they used weighed in 10 lb increments.

I do not hunt personally, but I also do not know many rational people, hunters or otherwise, who would think that torturing an animal like that would be OK. Sure, animals are killed and eaten every day, but this story isnt about hunting, or killing animals, or eating animals. It is about a group of people who tortured a tame, domesticated animal for hours because they thought it was fun, then lied about it afterwards.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I'm all for hunting but letting an animal slowly bleed out over 3 hours and 150 acres from multiple belly shots seems excessive. They should have finished the animal off.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

The hunt was canned and the hunted a domesticated pig; as such, it was wrong. I think there is a thread similar to this in the Firearms subforum so there is no need to rehash all of the particular arguments pertaining to animal cruelty. It sounds to me the outfitters are the chief culprits in this case.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

thanks for a rational, well written post. I know hunters and when I told them about this story, they were incensed. The folks who did this are straight up aholes who think that they are hunters, but instead are lazy mofos who are too fat and slovenly to get up and hunt a wild animal on its terms. In other words, go to where the animal resides, walk and wait and bear the climate, then hit the animal with one shot, making it as clean and painless for the prey as possible. These fat f###s couldn't be bothered to go and do all that because they might miss some TV reality show. Naw, instead you get your moderately obese kid, get him into a car, drive his fat ass to where the animal has no way to escape, and then even with all that, you're too inept to kill the beast with a clean shot. This kind of trash deserves to get all that's coming to them.....

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I agree. But this was not the fault of the Boy.


And pigs are intelligent. I think that matters.
torturing any animal is Not Good...but I feel the more intelligent the animal... the more it suffers

Just my feelings on the matter

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

This really angers me and my wife when we talk about it.:rant:
Are the Outfitters being prosecuted?
If not Why the heck not?
:banghead:
is there a way to follow The rest of this story more closely?

anyone got a link bout any arrests that where made?

it a hog get over it

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Chasing around a harmless farm animal and putting holes in it for 3 hours is pretty low. You do something low like that, and people hear about it and do shit to you. Call it Karma or call it common sense. You'd have to stupid to do this thinking that it was going to go over well and there would be no negative consequences. Hope the kid has learned that what goes around, comes around. Sounds like the older people involved didn't get it.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

it a hogggggggggggggggg

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I guess none of those incensed by this eat meat of any kind....

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I live smack dab in the middle of hog country, there's wild hog on my property. It's easy to tell a true wild Russian boar they look alot like the one pictured, I can't see his tail but they have long straight tails and a long snout,I've seen them 450-500Lbs but that rare around here.
it's amazing how fast a domestic hog can go wild and their appearance changes drastically. They do canned hunts around here, it's some sick $#it.
I don't condole what that father and son did it was totally wrong... and for the gentleman that keeps saying "it's just a hog get over it" you have no respect for Gods creatures (I'm not taking a jab at you just stating how I feel). You live out in the middle of nature the way I do and you might change your mind, you do become hardened in some respects though....and yes I have seen the destruction a herd of hogs can do and I've seen how people deal with it but it's not the kind of thing people go out of their way to do or enjoy doing. And to be fair people come here from all over and pay big money to kill a hog just so they can cape it(sometimes they make sausage), another amusing stunt is to mount the ass end, that's always good for a chuckle:sarc:

DARN!!!!

You ruined it....people were all set to lynch the kid.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I agree, Humanity is overrated. It's ok if the creature suffers...its makes the hunt more fun and teaches the boy a good lesson about life! :sarc::sarcasm::sarc::sarcasm::thumpdown:banghead:

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Nobody wanted to lynch the kid.
...maybe the so-called adults who had him torture a pig with a handgun he couldn't handle.

Animal cruelty is so manly! :no_ma:

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

it a hogggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I must admit that's some impressive reasoning.
I'm glad you figured it out.

The animal was shot with nine slugs over several hours.
You can be proud.:sarc:

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

This account tries to defend the incident as a legitimate hunt, but only digs a deeper hole.

Yes, I'm shaking in my boots.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

PS - the little porker (the one with the gun) is probably seated 15 or 20 feet to the rear of the big porker (that'd be the pig) and holding his arms up as though they're resting on its back, to make look bigger.
Hey , the kid hunted down a domestic animal and almost killed it with his gun , fore it ran itself to death- he's entitled to a little 'photgraphic license'.
Stupid people do stupid sh*t for fun, not much to be done for it.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

some times the hunt workes great some time not so well . it would be hard to get a shot in to all that fat to hit a heart are what to get it down , ill seen people cut a hog to breed it out and it would be still moving aound , and you know it dead

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Guess facts matter little to people here...it might interfere with their closed minds.:rolleyes_m:

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

it a hoggggggggggggggggg let it goooooooo

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Get back to us after you graduate the fourth grade. :smokin:

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

it a hog , let it go

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

So in other words, we should believe the guy who lied about the size of the pig, the weight, etc. I guess everyone else connected with this story just made it up to make the poor fat kid feel bad.

Also, "it a hog" doesnt mean anything in the English language, try "It's a hog."

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Who should you believe?

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

yeah, so what.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

I like his grammar and spelling... he's salt of the earth.

Thanks for volunteering these startling insights. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of a room where you're conversing with your fellow intellectual powerhouses...

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Does anyone have prrof the story the father gave is lies?

Or is the news media telling the truth here?

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

LOL. I guess the fact that the guy who sold the pig has said that it was a family pet was lying, and the guy who owned the scale said it only measured in 10 lb increments just made that up, and the fact that the body of the pig was immediately taken away to "make sausage", even though no one is going to eat meat from a 1000 lb boar because of boar taint doesn't indicate anything.

I guess we should just believe the father though, because every single other person connected to this story is probably lying.

It a hog, right?

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Hmm, more statements from the father. I guess that proves it to you, but personally, I don't just believe anything I hear. I like to have unbiased witnesses.

Just because the kid's dad said it to a news reporter doesnt make it true. Especially since the dad's been caught lying about other parts of the story.

Re: Alabama Boy Gets Death Threats for Hunting 1,000-Pound �Monster Pig�
 

Oh I didnt know all of that ..........


There are a bunch of effing dolts and the bring shame to every hunter.
