Depends on if you grew up seeing pigs as rideable or not
Part the the disconnect is that most people only see the young ones as a lot of commercial farms "Harvest" ->
them while young so they are naturally smaller. Often done before they reach sexual maturity as that's when their sent glands kick in ->
and can change the flavour to be much gamier which people like less.

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 1/1
2/1 that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. 2/1

Fun fact about wild boars and medieval hunting. We have a fair few hunting treatises on what animals should be hunted to teach a young >
knight about the skills needed for fighting in battles. There is some information about how it's useful to hunt stags or hares or whatever,>
but to really teach you the fear and struggle of combat it was suggested to hunt two animals above all: bears and boars.
Basically the only way to teach you to fight with your life on the line, is for your life to be on the line.

Also bears and boars will do their best to kill you even if wounded, most animals try to flee if at all possible when hurt.

KnifeKnut
You wouldn't aim for the mouth, but they would indeed further impale themselves on an unlugged spear in order to try to fight back.
I mean there was reason they hunted them in full armor with a group of like 30 men with hounds and horses.
Chickenlicker
out of interest, what does that little brace piece do that makes a difference?
PullThePinAndCountToWhat
Basically stops the spear from driving in all the way down the shaft, so you're not within tusk range. Sure, you do more damage w/o it, >>
>> but pigs (and other large beasts like bears and moosen) are so fuck off tough they'll fight with that whole thing running through them.
Cross piece is wider than the wound. Oftentimes it is mounted perpendicular to the cutting edges to increase effectiveness

I watched Paris' documentary. She's a fascinating person. She wanted to be a vet. Had tons of pets growing up. She's not the "persona."
She could solve lot of the world’s or even just her own country’s problems with her money, but she chooses not to do that without tax breaks
LiquidSillyness
As a lady with large feet, learning Paris started a shoe line for her also large feet, really melted my view of her.

I’m fascinated that she can be so sexy yet not classically beautiful.

There are many people who cannot distinguish between a character and an actor playing it.

I still want to see it. From what I read it sounds like she was pushed to be that person we all detested. Sounds sad.

People want the party girl Paris persona. Its what gets her money and gigs. She had a brief appearance on RPDR and she sounded so different
Coping mechanism for the abuse she suffered. Def watch it. It's on YouTube.
InTangier
She did act the part tho, and cashed on that fame.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
I actually remember reading the article that introduced her to the world. Think it was in the NY Times and it both played up her persona 1/
while also noting that it was very much an act and how she was remarkably intelligent.
Kat1997
How many kids (or adults) do you think would have done any different knowing that thier family is reliant on that image.
Yeah, she did so under enormous preasure fron her parents and family, she was expected to provide for them while still underage
I get that her story is tragic but frankly we need better idols. I'm sad for her but in the end we got another basic person (albeit acting)
She’s not nearly the asshole the media made her out to be. She seems like a nice person who just happens to be an heiress…?♀️
PoppaBigBear
Didn't think she was an asshole, just thought she was pretty with nothing else. Glad to be proven wrong.
She went through some terrible shit.
Such as?
Euchale
also had a sex tape leaked of her.
https://www.newsweek.com/paris-hilton-speaks-out-alleged-sexual-abuse-boarding-school-1705905
KLUSTENATOR
Everywhere like such as...
arego8967
Her parents sent her to a boarding school for troubled teens and it was an abusive place. She's trying to get it shut down
Yup. She's been testifying in front of congress and state legislatures to strengthen laws to protect kids from abusive schools.
smegmaspread
Not to take away from her but lots of people want to be vets. Then you actually try to do it and realize it’s more selective than med school
Link?
But for real, it’s all about the number of vet schools vs med schools. California has 16 schools where you can get your MD and 2 for vets
There are only 32 schools in the entire United States that offer degrees in veterinary medicine.
You literally have a better chance of being a human doctor than you do to be an animal doctor.
Then deal w/ the extremely high suicide rate for people in the veterinarian business…

Really, I never forgave her for shitting on all the people from that dumb show she had. I don't care if (if) they ended up well-paid after.
She projected that image because its what her family demanded, she was increadibly young and being preasured to provide for her family

To all who replied, thank you for the correction. Oddly, I remember this even being on the news as a scandal, hence my not thinking abt it.

If you fed a body to pigs the DNA would be in the soil for years. Have you ever tried to clean blood of 100 pigs?
What about a pressure washer and extra dirt or diff animal DNA to mix with it n mess up the sample? or.. what if u just add more blood?!
They can take a sample and find 100s of DNA within it then filter out. If it's your farm you will have explaining to do.

Sex tapes are always disappointing. “You know that hot person you’d want to fuck? Here’s them not knowing how, nor the guy recording.”
True that. However, no matter how amateurish, you can expect at least some sort of participation in sex. Dead fish had more zeal than Paris.

Most wild boars are smaller though. Those giant ones are exceptions.
I heard that that the giant ones are hybrids that came from domestic pigs escaping and interbreeding with the feral Hogs resulting in 1/2
No, there definitely are huge boars. There are also 2m tall humans. Domestic pig x wild boar hybrids are a different story.
Those are sometimes called "superpigs" or "stone sge pigs" and tend to be less shy than wild ones but as robust as wild ones.

Actually not permitted for hunting wild boar or deer in most of Europe. You need something like .30-30 for that.

Nope. You don't know pigs. Fat & happy grain and scrap fed. Big ol' farm pigs will literally eat anything they have a chance to eat.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean malnourished as in under-fed, I meant not getting enough of specific macronutrients and vitamins
present in those turkeys. Even chickens will cannibalise each other if fed only grains and no protein. Am I wrong about that?
HiddenSanity
Nah, that's normal depending on the breed, some will literally eat themselves to death given the chance.
myotherusernameismyotherusername
I've been to walmart, they ain't special.
Indeed, lots of large dogs have the same issue, can kill themselves if you accidentally give them access to too much food.

out of interest, what does that little brace piece do that makes a difference?
PullThePinAndCountToWhat
Basically stops the spear from driving in all the way down the shaft, so you're not within tusk range. Sure, you do more damage w/o it, >>

Cross piece is wider than the wound. Oftentimes it is mounted perpendicular to the cutting edges to increase effectiveness

I watched Paris' documentary. She's a fascinating person. She wanted to be a vet. Had tons of pets growing up. She's not the "persona."
meganical
She could solve lot of the world’s or even just her own country’s problems with her money, but she chooses not to do that without tax breaks
LiquidSillyness
As a lady with large feet, learning Paris started a shoe line for her also large feet, really melted my view of her.

You likely just educated a lot of foot fetishists.

I enjoyed her in Repo! - especially when I learned her costumes in the movie were from her own wardrobe
mmmurppp
I’m fascinated that she can be so sexy yet not classically beautiful.
Clarysage
She seems to have a pretty good sense of humour about the persona she made for herself, judging from all her cameos.
bemxuu
There are many people who cannot distinguish between a character and an actor playing it.
KawaiiInari
I still want to see it. From what I read it sounds like she was pushed to be that person we all detested. Sounds sad.
Rorysaurus
People want the party girl Paris persona. Its what gets her money and gigs. She had a brief appearance on RPDR and she sounded so different
HelaSisterOfThor
Coping mechanism for the abuse she suffered. Def watch it. It's on YouTube.
InTangier
She did act the part tho, and cashed on that fame.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
I actually remember reading the article that introduced her to the world. Think it was in the NY Times and it both played up her persona 1/

while also noting that it was very much an act and how she was remarkably intelligent.
Kat1997
How many kids (or adults) do you think would have done any different knowing that thier family is reliant on that image.
Kat1997
Yeah, she did so under enormous preasure fron her parents and family, she was expected to provide for them while still underage
InTangier
I get that her story is tragic but frankly we need better idols. I'm sad for her but in the end we got another basic person (albeit acting)

She’s not nearly the asshole the media made her out to be. She seems like a nice person who just happens to be an heiress…?♀️

HelaSisterOfThor
Yup. She's been testifying in front of congress and state legislatures to strengthen laws to protect kids from abusive schools.

Not to take away from her but lots of people want to be vets. Then you actually try to do it and realize it’s more selective than med school
NoQuestionMarksInDeclarativeSentences
Link?
smegmaspread

But for real, it’s all about the number of vet schools vs med schools. California has 16 schools where you can get your MD and 2 for vets

There are only 32 schools in the entire United States that offer degrees in veterinary medicine.

Really, I never forgave her for shitting on all the people from that dumb show she had. I don't care if (if) they ended up well-paid after.

She projected that image because its what her family demanded, she was increadibly young and being preasured to provide for her family

If you fed a body to pigs the DNA would be in the soil for years. Have you ever tried to clean blood of 100 pigs?

What about a pressure washer and extra dirt or diff animal DNA to mix with it n mess up the sample? or.. what if u just add more blood?!

"Nice person" may be debatable. But I've seen her sex tape. Definitely nothing sexy there.
CommanderXirlos
Sex tapes are always disappointing. “You know that hot person you’d want to fuck? Here’s them not knowing how, nor the guy recording.”

True that. However, no matter how amateurish, you can expect at least some sort of participation in sex. Dead fish had more zeal than Paris.

Most wild boars are smaller though. Those giant ones are exceptions.
Imsomewhatofaboobmyself85
I heard that that the giant ones are hybrids that came from domestic pigs escaping and interbreeding with the feral Hogs resulting in 1/2
mercyPandaRunner
No, there definitely are huge boars. There are also 2m tall humans. Domestic pig x wild boar hybrids are a different story.
mercyPandaRunner
Those are sometimes called "superpigs" or "stone sge pigs" and tend to be less shy than wild ones but as robust as wild ones.
