I, too, felt a little sad to learn that the big lunk was dead, but again, probably for the best. I just love to hear about animals who evade capture/death for so long that they grow to frightening proportions, like Piggy here, and also the giant turtle in Lake Ho Hoan Kiem in Hanoi-- it's supposed to be three and a half feet wide and nearly six feet long; the size of the hood of a truck, and biologists estimate that the thing weighs over 400 pounds and is several hundred years old! WoooOOOOOooo!!
I have now officially convinced myself that EnormoPiggy had a very long and valiant run and was really ancient, and only lost a step because of incipient piggy Alzheimer's and so going down in a rain of .50-caliber bullets (BTW, how did that enormous-ass gun not knock that little kid right on his ass?) saved him from a sad and impaired twilight.
BTW, if you haven't read Neverwhere, you should give it a whirl next time you're down for some escapism.

Poor monster. Wild pigs are pretty dangerous, so it's probably for the best, but it had to be quite a clever critter to survive as long as it did.

It's good to have goals. I hate Alabama.
