When asked about the prospects of America performing similar experiments, President Obama replied, “When pigs fly!”
Me too-just learned about goat polo.
I think we need to merge these two threads in a Bizarre Sunday Mornings with Animals Forum.
How about the guy that shot his 51 dairy cows and then himself?
Where’s the beef?
Release walleye and pike, if it’s cold enough.
You can eat them after they eat the minnows.
hehe... “You can put a flack jacket on a pig... But it’s still a pig”
Food label Warning: “This ham product was subjected to extreme trauma prior to processing and packaging.”
Yeah right... when pigs can fly!
lol... we need a picture of a pig in a flack jacket for captions
The carcasses should be ground fine, mixed with alcohol, and sprayed on mosques and terrorist training facilities!
Trash fish = bass food!
Start at the shallow end. Fish instinctively flee to the depths. For maximum effect, tie a rock or other weight with a ~3 ft line to the charge so that it doesn’t waste half its energy just squishing silt.
Rotenone is a lot quieter.
Walnut husk tea works too, and if you have access to a walnut tree it doesn’t leave a paper trail...
Looks more like pigs in a burqa...
I've been told (by a former coworker who grew up in Oklahoma) that the traditional source of power used for this method is an old crank telephone. This is called "telephoning for fish". This is said to be illegal in most places.
The peta crowd is sure to blow a gut over this one. Perhaps some of their members will volunteer to replace the pigs. (an article of faith for the peta crowd is that a “A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.”)

Years ago, when my Dad was telling Gramma how our Army had switched from using pigs in controlled firings to simply loaning Army doctors to highly-stressed ultra-urban American hospitals for good gunshot-wound training, poor old Gramma got it mixed up at first and was indignantly asking why our Army thought it was suddenly acceptable to shoot inner-city-types just so its surgeons could get extra training.
“I think I saw/read somewhere that if you attach wires to the positive and negative poles of a 12 volt battery and dropped the wires into the water it would “shock” the fish to the surface. I don’t know if it would really work but it may be worth a try.”
My great granddad told me a story once that during the Great Depression he would take one of those old telephones you had to crank up, get in a boat, go out in the middle of a pond/lake, crank the telephone while the wires were in the water and the fish would be stunned and float to the surface. Collect the fish and you have tonight’s dinner.
"Before being blown up, tubes were inserted into their blood vessels and bladders, and their spleens were removed."
Wonder what the purpose of that was.
Or you could always introduce an otter, but it might be hard to disinvite it later.
probably ton measure the force of the blast on inner tissues and organs. It might also give an idea how force is transmitted through the body. (Just guessing)
Amateurs.
