THIS giant feral pig was shot on a Pilbara cattle station after it was spotted eating a dead cow.
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.

You better look up the definition of the word. What you are describing is an omnivore.
Gosh, I guess I imagined all the times I saw pigs eat the dead bodies of other farm animals, including other pigs.
Pigs will eat anything that doesn't eat them first.
I need to purchase a clue? You must be responding to the wrong person.
You questioning a hog farmer?
Oh really?

Pigs will eat anything including dead humans...
Nope. I’m tellin ya. Not questioning.
Don't have a cow, man!
They preferred humans way back when... no fur and soft hide.
clearly photoshopped. ;)
ROFL!
Bull poop! Pigs are omnivores, they will eat anything.
Whoooo PIG Soooie!
Believe me, I know. I’ve seen pigs eat everything from dead animals, rocks, pieces of wood, rope, and some sows will chase after you, tackle you down and eat you if you get close to their nest of babies.
Yes, because that person(mamelukesaber) can never be wrong...have read his/her posts before..Never, Never wrong....don't question him/her...L:) I did slip and make a comment to mamelukesabre. I usually Try to avoid him/her..
My Daddy had a mounted wild boar head that looked just like a werewolf. He bought it somewhere. I never liked that thing.
I’m gonna let you re read your post and then tell me why it’s so stupid.
Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.
