That's just it, it's quite possibly not a photo shop. The pig is real or at least can't be disproven in size or under scrutiny - but it came from a pig farm and had been domesticated. Also bear in mind that the boy in question was a young man at the time - eleven years old is all. He's knee-high to a buggy even though we perceive him to be an adult, or large male, when we see the picture. He isn't proportionate to what we envision when we think about that pig.
This makes the pig appear to be drastically larger than it really is.
Also, the pic was first spotted in 2004. Four years doesn't seem a long time, but it is in terms of programs and resolution - and the pic may have been made prior to that time, which would have made it far easier to cover one's tracks on a photo-shop stunt.
Combined with that, even then they weren't ever able to verify the size of the pig (I don't know why), but the question lingers as to how someone "loses" the carcass of a pig that large without first getting an official measurement of it - and then forgetting where they put the carcass.
They never did verify the pictures in any way - and I'm skeptical that they "lost" the body. Even as such - if it were true, the pig would STILL not be as large as claimed for the reasons the Snopes article goes into details about - including the size of the kid in the picture, who was actually very small at the time despite that he appears to be older judging by the face.
This goes in the "bogus" category - and no, I can't site the "photo-shop evidence."
I don't have any, nor do I feel any is needed in this case.
Common sense and the test of reason tell even the uneducated artist that this is a giant load of shit.
