True story:

Hunting pigs in Hawaii is legal. No one has any problem with that. Hunting a pig who is a family pet, now that’s a different story. Especially when you chase the pig into a carport and stab him multiple times and then sic your dogs on him. This is a recipe for disaster.  

Porky was a famous pig. He tipped the scales at over 300 pounds. His parents were native feral pigs. He was raised since he was a piglet, by humans, who treated him as a member of the family.

Despite his huge girth, Porky was a gentle giant who was tame enough to eat fruit right out of your hand. Not only that, but Porky had star quality.  He apeared in the famous TV show Lost. He was featured in several Hawaii television commercials.

 With the number of televison shows and movies filmed here in Hawaii, it was just a matter of time before Porky would get the call to move up to the big leagues. He could have been a Hollywood pig. There is no doubt, his star was rising.

The dreams of greatness, all came to a crashing end last October, when he was brutally murdered in his own carport, by a hunter. The hunter was clearly on private property.

Porky’s owner, was startled to hear screams of terror outside of his house. The screams came from Porky, who had been stabbed repeatedly. He had also been cornered by a pack of hunting dogs.

The owner screamed at the hunter to stop stabbing Porky. “He’s a family pet” he yelled. “Call off your dogs”, he pleaded.

It was to late for poor Porky, he was dead. The hunter tried to drag Porky’s body out of the carport. The homeowner called the police. The hunter fled.

The hunter is now on trial. He has pleaded not guilty. He claims he was with his pregnant girl friend at the time. During the trial, the hunter tried to repeatedly fire his attourney. The judge overruled his objections.

During the trial, another hunter took the stand and admitted, he was the one who killed Porky.  If convicted the hunter faces up tp five years in prison, and a huge fine.

The family continues to grieve for poor Porky. Porky, may you rest in peace. That’s all for now…

This is one of those only in Hawaii stories. This story comes from the Honolulu Advertiser (9/13/07).

Here’s what happened:

Three Oahu pick-up trucks got a ride from Oahu to Maui on the Superferry. The driver’s drove their trucks to a Maui stream bed and filled up the trucks with 900 large rocks. The rock thieves, then drove back to the dock hoping to catch a ride back home on the Superferry.

Unfortunately for them, the Superferry has been banned from continuing service due to a court injunction. So the rock laden pick-up trucks have been sitting at the dock for more than a week.

In Hawaii, disturbing the environment in any way is a no-no. The rocks may have been intended for use in an imu (underground cooking pit). But who knows, maybe they intended to build a small wall.

The Division of Land and Natural Resources will allow the gathering of a small quantity of rock for personal use. The limit is one gallon of rocks per person per day.

These guys obviously went overboard. The tale adds fuel to the fight to ban the Superferry from going Inter-Island. Many of the local activists feared that people from Oahu would desecrate the land and natural resources.

The bozos in the pick-up trucks are trying to dismantle Maui, one rock at a time. These cockroaches may just claim the rocks fell out of their heads…

For now the rocks and the pick-up trucks are still on the docks awaiting passage back to Oahu. 

Noted Maui resident, Paul “Ka’huane” Lu’uwai was quoted as saying: “These guys know the rules and they come over here thinking they can get away with something.”

Hopefully these people who stole these rocks will face stiff fines, and lose their trucks. Although the maximum fine is $500. However, they may be charged with other crimes as well.

I would very much appreciate your comments on this story.

From Espo’s Notebook on a recent visit to The Big Island (Hawaii):

 Smoking hot Volcanoes and lava flowing right under your feet. Really hot, I mean what can you say, AWESOME!

It was a two hour hike over the lava fields to get to the active vent where the hot lava flowed into the sea. It is new land, rugged lava fields and black sand beaches. The expanding magma hitting the water expands and even floats steaming on the surface of the water, Amazing!
