I just heard on the news that an 11 year old boy from Alabama has shot dead the world’s biggest wild boar.
I’m staggered. We have the world’s biggest something and some yank kid shoots it, then gets applauded for it! How can killing something make this kid famous? Surely he should be arrested and publicly ostracised for shooting a living creature, not least of which the world’s biggest of anything?
This is the American way though isn’t it? See something unique, marvel at it and then shoot it dead.
Now if the world’s biggest wild boar had eaten an 11 year old boy from Alabama I’d laugh, maybe next time.
