THIS giant feral pig has been shot dead after it was spotted eating a dead cow on an Australian property.
The picture has been circulating on the internet alongside claims the boar was killed at various locations across Australia.
It was written off as a hoax by many, including WA's Department of Environment and Conservation, and sparked much debate when published on website PerthNow.
But The Sunday Times has confirmed that the pig was shot on a Pilbara cattle station near Newman, 1200km northeast of Perth.
Sources close to the family of the man in the photo have confirmed he is Pilbara pastoralist John Anick and the picture was taken on his property three years ago.
The family refused to talk about the giant boar earlier, for fear that illegal pig hunters would flock to the area.
The source said the 220kg beast was eating a cow when it was first seen by workers mustering cattle in a helicopter. Mr Anick saw it again on a trip to check windmills on the property and shot it.
"I can vouch 100 per cent, I don't even have to say 90 per cent, that it (the photo) was taken in the Pilbara and it is who I said it is,'' the source said.
Post pictures and stories of all the things in and outside of Australia that will serious face fuck you up.
but let's be honest, this is pretty much going to be an Australian Things That Will Kill You thread.
Yeah but that article is from the Brisbane Times.
It's clearly just propaganda to make people think that Australia isn't as bad as other places.
Because it clearly is.

The Box Jellyfish. The powerful neurotoxic venom contained in its stingers can kill a full grown human in four minutes. The venom attacks the nervous system, causing heart failure, or more commonly, drowning as the swimming victim loses motor functions.
Unlike most jellyfish, it actively hunts its prey and can be quite aggressive. It can reach speeds of up to 3.5 knots (1.8 meters/second)
There have been 5,568 recorded deaths due to Box Jellyfish stings since 1954, placing it at the top of the deadly creature list.
Edit: And of course, they are very common in Australia.

Not that pig.
That pig would bring an honorable death

Beef infused bacon, at that.
God I'm so jealous.
Only in America does an 11 year old take something like that down with a handgun.

edit: It was in a documentary about the irukandji box jellyfish. It said box jellyfish have 5 very primitive eyes.
Also the irukandji is fucking crazy.
