I don't really like the fact that the kid had to shoot it nine times over a three hour period. The animal suffered far too much and that's not the way it's done. If he can't do it right, he shouldn't hunt with a handgun.
However, the negative comments on that site are just retarded. Hogs are not native to Alabama. As a feral species, they are extremely destructive if their numbers are not kept down--doubley so if they're enormous. They're stupid, ugly, and they don't belong here. The only thing they're good for is as a game animal. Except for his inhumane handling of it, the kid should just be proud of his accomplishment.
