Hmm...

What portion of their population will not be happy about this?

If they’re under 70 or 80 kilos, they’re pretty tasty. Over that they’re used for sausage. I was invited on a boar (called cinghiale in Italy) hunt in the province of Tuscany in 1995. Since I had not purchased a hunting license, I could not actually hunt but was part of a large group of spotters (the hunt seems more social occasion for the landed gentry and their urban friends than a hog hunt in the US).

They serve wild boar (and other game meats) in German restaurants that specialize in taking in and cooking what the jaegers (hunters) bring in. Those little tuskers are delicious.

Those are lap pigs. Parisian ladies keep them as pets.

This is a boar.

An 11 y.o. kid in Alabama killed it with a pistol. 1051 lbs, 9.5 feet long..

That's 477 kg for you lap pig loving, cheese eating, Jerry Lewis worshiping....

"They taste a lot like cat"

I ate cat for the first time (I think) just this past summer. I was gifted some lynx.

In the future, I'll be re-gifting the lynx. Too much hair in with the meat.

They taste like breakfast sausage. Texas has a problem with them too. I don't pay for pork anymore. It's even legal to spotlight them, no license required.

You could substitute mohammedans for boars and get the same discription. They are also beginning to encroach on areas inhabited by humans.

So the boars are multiplying like Muslims in Europe, and the Muslims are multiplying like boars in Europe.

They both hate each other.

Looks like a cultural collision is inevitable.
