The connection? Simple. The story moves from a heroic boy able to confront the terrible monster pig and end the threat. Now it moves to… but the pig was raised on a farm…. he has a name…. Fred.

Hogzilla No More: Monster Pig a 1000 Pound Farm Raised Hog Named FredThe personalization and stories that humanize the threat only continue to serve to diminish the resolve to defend oneself from the threat. While the pig was angry and wild… not much of an issue. But to hunt down a pig that was just prancing around on a farm… he’s Fred afterall, just… well some how doesn’t seem reasonable anymore. While the left reports on the trouble of Gitmo and the “torture” being committed against Jihadists we see the news framing President Bush as a Nazi regime leader. Now suddenly in the left’s mind you see that the jihadists are doing the right thing… killing and attacking the monster super power of our age.

Hogzilla 2, the “Monster Pig” that was hunted down by an 11-year old boy was such a great story. Now it appears that is all that it is. The 1000-pound hog that was dropped by Jamison Stone now turns out to be nothing more than a farm raised ‘pet porker that even had a name. The hog was named Fred. Phil Blissitt the owner of ‘Fred’ told a local paper in a story released on Friday that he bought the six-week-old pig in 2004 as a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda, and that they sold it after deciding to get rid of all their pigs.

So much for the great Hogzilla hunt story. The Blissitts said they didn’t know the hog that was hunted was Fred until they were contacted by a game warden for the Alabama Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. The agency determined that no laws were violated in the hunt.
