Now having a domestic pig running wild, turning all feral and growing it's natural hairs back seems a plausable way to go... after all hogs are known to be ferocious animals in the wild (wild boars, collared peccary, or javelina, wart-hogs, etc.). But there are arguments about the validity of the photos taken of the beast(s). One can do wonderous things with photoshoppe if trained/practiced well enough. Still.. it's a big pig.
Snopes had this to say about it.

Also the fact that a 11 yr. old boy handling a .50 cal pistol and firing 10 rounds into the animal... (he had to reload, no?) and standing there with a wounded beast of that size to reload... arguments range from a .50 cal is too powerful for an 11 yr. old to handle, much less fire it 10 times in succession, to "... who gives a .50 cal to a kid anyway?"
Check out the pics. See/judge for yourself.
... and no I don't think that's Larry The Cable Guy in the last pic with him.
