Texas to feral pigs: It's time for the 'hog apocalypse' to begin

I believe God gave us the earth to give it good care.

And I also believe there's no way they can contain this poison to wild pigs.

This is a bad idea and I hope Texans will oppose it.

It's far better to put a $25 bounty on them for traditional eradication.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh what other animals will ingest that stuff? Poor idea.

[ConservativeMind]

Hunt them and enjoy the meat.

This is a waste. You do this to rats you can’t eat.

I think the state should provide me an unlimited amount of ammunition and a helicopter with pilot.

It might take me awhile but I swear I will get it done.

And bagged lunches, I’ll need bagged lunches.

[BBell]

I agree.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Those helicopter hunts are on my bucket list!

Warfarin is also prescribed as a blood thinner for human patients with circulatory problems.

My ex wife had an uncle who was on the stuff.

He tripped on a rake in a Tru Value hardware store and banged his head. He remained conscious and his buddy drove him to the urgent care to get him stitched.

He was dead two hours later from a cerebral hemorrhage.

[Ellendra]

What’s that going to do to the people who eat wild hogs?

[reasonisfaith]

That’s incorrect. Warfarin is not like toxic metals.

[BlatherNaut]

And I also believe there's no way they can contain this poison to wild pigs.

Follow the money...

Wild hogs often have good blood lines.

Trap them, put them in pens and feed them for a few months then slaughter them for fine eating.

“may only be bought and used by a licensed applicator or someone under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator”

I will be hiring someone to do that.

[TADSLOS]

Yeah, I don’t see how this could be a good idea. Way too many variables with disasterous consequences.

[ARGLOCKGUY]

This is a bad idea. People eat hogs.

[EinNYC]

How can you be sure the hog is really dead and not just wounded when shooting from a helicopter? Wouldn’t it be cruel to leave behind wounded game?

[EvilCapitalist]

Trap them, and release them near all of the mosques in Texas.

Kill them all and eat them.

[Nailbiter]

Sounds like typical lib solution that will have “unintended consequences”
