What An Insult: Man Killed After Being Mistaken For A Pig

From Fox News: State wildlife officials say a South Florida hunter was likely mistaken for a boar by a friend who accidentally shot and killed him.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials tell The Palm Beach Post that Ernie Small Jr. likely mistook his friend Clinton Haas of Loxahatchee for a boar while they were hunting Thursday night near Jupiter.
Haas' shooting was ruled accidental, though wildlife officials say their investigation remains open.
Haas' wife says he had gone out with Small to spread corn feed to attract boars. Haas was a licensed hunter and had previously caught boar, even bringing one home for his family to eat.
Wildlife officials say hunters help eliminate boar that destroy property by digging up the ground for roots and insects to eat.
I'm sorry, but how does a man look like a boar, which is a big pig?  A boar can weigh as much as 1000 pounds or more, has a pig face and is low to the ground.  And that can be mistaken for a man?
What an insult.
