I like seeing those wild hogs. Kitty was telling me about them, back when her doggie was missing along with her neighbor’s dog. They were afraid they could have been killed by those hogs. I’ve never seen a wild hog but I’ve seen a farm hog and man do I love to eat their ham and sausage~~LOL~~Reminds me of that cartoon I posted yesterday with the pig and chicken!
The javelina have tusks that are razor sharp. Someone asked the veternarian if she has to stitch up very many pets who were attacked by javelina. She said, “If a pet is attacked by a javelina, no stitches will be needed. I have never been able to save one pet that had been swiped by one of those wild pigs.”
Farm hogs and javelina are not from the same category. I think the javelina is from the rodent family (don’t ask me how) and I have heard they are not very good to eat. (Besides, it is against the law to injure or kill one - and if you do, it must be reported to Fish and Game Dept., and they will dispose of the carcass - and give you a major fine.)
