Man accidentally shoots his friend to death during hunting trip at Khao Sok National Park

[Suradit69]

I've got to really hand it to the reporter on this one. Could he have found a smaller or more cute photo of a wild hog than that?

It really makes these two poachers out to be quite the heartless buffoons. What do they do when they aren't hunting Piglet, drowning day-old puppies?

well when it comes to buffoons, don't forget DICK Cheney who shot a hunting companion who he confused with a duck. DICK never bothered apologizing. The friend was written off as collateral damage. Being DICK means never having tto say you're sorry and being in the NRA means it's not guns that kill people, it's a government conspiracy.

[sprq]

I'd say he got the right animal. Pity he didn't get himself too.

[kamahele]

I didn't know that Dick Cheney was visiting Thailand!

[Jim walker]

He will be hoping to come back as a bull elephant now so he can roam the National Parks freely without having to worry about his tusks being robbed.

[Halion]

Either Thai style plausible denial or red flag as to why some people should not be allowed to have a firearm.

And the photo is from the Netherlands

I can assure you there are NO wild boar piglets in The Netherlands left. When there were, color picture technology didn't exist yet.

I once repaired a radiator on a brown Renault for a friend. Big hole in it. He shot his car in the forest thinking it was a deer. He didn't come far in his further career.

Nothing to say, a life for a life. If that human wasn't dead, it would have been the pig who would be dead. We live and share this earth, what gives us humans more rights. Good news I have to say.

[PETERTHEEATER]

Shows how bad security can be at National Parks if these 2 were roaming around with a rifle. OMG !

I could not find any report of the type of firearm used. Perhaps it was a bow and arrows?

[plachon]

so this idiot shot into a bush without seeing what he was shooting at, come on, that is just a bit too hard to believe. Even and adiot would want to see what he was shooting at so he didnt miss it and as he was walking behind his "friend" surely he would have wanteds to make sure it was a pig he was shooting at. Sounds more like an excuse to kill someone, either that or they are inbred and totally stupid

That's not a nice way to talk about a past Vice President of the USA. And his "friend" was even wearing a high-viz jacket when he shot him! The only sad part of the story is it wasn't a certain well-known village idiot from Texas.

a man said he accidentally killed his friend because he thought he was a pig.

Maybe the friend failed to squeal....

(Deliverance reference).

[SOTIRIOS]

...if he was the village chief......one should wonder...

Not a Thai one, Thai wild pigs are brown and they grow real big, seen some skulls on Koh Chang, far bigger than the NZ variety.

Man accidentally shoots his friend to death during hunting trip

Ah yes, that old chestnut.

Reminds of the businessman who accidental shot his secretary with his machine gun in a Bangkok restaurant. I'm sure I remember that but it seems so crazy I might have dreamt it, did that happen?

I just wondered how many ARA, gun loving real men have made the same mistakes? After a 6 pack of beer, they are pumped and drunk and will shoot anything that moves. What comes around goes around.

Can't argue with that Robby.

While attempting to hunt some meat Saturday, a man said he accidentally killed his friend because he thought he was a pig.

This caused me to laugh out loud...how absurd...

[ginjag]

His word against his grunt, Bet the other one before he died shouted back worse words than pig. maybe --Two hats?

[Local Drunk]

Guns in a National Park?

[ginjag]

Guns in a National Park?

Seemingly in many cases it's "In a national gun park"

[bigbamboo]

At least he didn't say he thought it was an elephant.

[Loles]

Yes, and they were both of them full drunk, and for this topic had to import a picture from Holland cause here they have eaten everything.

'He sure got a cute mouth don't he?' 'Here piggy piggy!'

[surangw]

'killed his friend because he thought he was a pig.'

bad personal hygiene ?

[Tokay]

Sounds legit.

[marko kok prong]

Gotta say that piglet would sure make some mighty fine eatin,slow spitted on a camp fire.

[Gonsalviz]

"Shoots his friend to death" , I am not with this English term.---------kills his friend in a shooting incident---accident we don't know for sure--just unfortunate---Could he have shouted "are you a pig or not" ??

And the pig would say "NO"!

[star kicker]

did he owe his friend money?

was his friend knocking off his missis?

or is he just an idiot?

Actually there are many in the Netherlands and they are hunted , because they reproduce quickly .

[Pundi6446]

How many times was he shot at close range, in the back of the head?
