The moment a group of tourists bait a wild pig into the jaws of a monster alligator has been captured on video.
The disturbing footage shows the hungry alligator stalking its prey from the murky waters of a river in New Orleans, Louisiana, before striking out and grabbing the pig as it gingerly retrieve food thrown by tourists on a boat.
The giant carnivore is clearly visible from the boat as tourists throw food in front of the pigs in an attempt to lure them into the water, and they can be heard talking about the alligator.
'We need to feed him one of these pigs,' a man's voice appears to say in the video.
'Look at the pigs back up,' a voice can be heard to say, as the pigs step forward and then rush back after cautiously grabbing bread thrown into the water in front of the alligator.
Other voices can be heard laughing.
When one pig steps into the river to grab the food, the semi-submerged reptile lunges out and grabs its victim by the hind legs.
As the helpless animal frantically screams and tries to escape to safety, the other pigs are seen rushing forward, apparently in an effort to help save the animal.
Eventually the pig is dragged underwater by the alligator.
Stunned tourists are heard screaming while their boat pulls away from the river bank as the pig scrambled to escape its jaws.
'That was amazing', one male tourist can be heard saying before the video cuts out.
The video, posted onto YouTube on April 20 this year by Jacques Brousseau, has been viewed more than 280,000 times.
A caption along the video said: 'This big guy took advantage of some very daring feral pigs , it was hard to watch, and one woman on board almost threw up, but this is reality in the Bayou.'
Thousands of people have condemned the cruel and senseless act after watching the video, which reemerged on Live Leak on Thursday morning.
One person posted: 'If alligator naturally hunt wild pig, I think it's okay. But in this case, you intend to throw bread into the water to be the decoy in order to have wild pig to be eaten by alligator.
It's very cruel and it should not be acceptable.'

Amine err said: 'The person who threw the bread is heartless and cruel i can't believe how he's sleeping at night after doing this, i'm speechless.'
But others disagree with the horrific act, saying they would 'pay' to see this attack.
