I knew a redneck that hunted hogs, he caught a big boar one night and caged him. Every day he would lean into the cage and beat the hog with a rubber hammer.
On his last trip to the cage, he found it empty, he turned around just in time to see that hog charging him....when the hog got thru slashing him the poor bastard had no clothes left on his bloody body.
The moral of the story is that when you needlessly torture something like that, you better hope it doesn't get out of the cage.
