That’s an expensive route for a simple solution. They can’t come back if they’re shot and turned into sausage.

Wild boars are very smart. I'm guessing they will figure this mechanized scarecrowdog out quickly...and develop a work around plan.

Looks like Carly Fiorina’s Demon Sheep political ad from 2015.

Wild hogs are a big problem in Japan, even around cities.

“That’s an expensive route for a simple solution. They can’t come back if they’re shot and turned into sausage.”

Version 2.0 comes with mounted lasers, and an optional meat grinder/sausage stuffer attachment.

Didn't those Jap farmers see Blackhawk Down?

To get rid of wild boars you need a Sikorsky UH-60, a 50-cal door mount, a barBQ pit, and some of JimmyJ's BBQ sauce. (A few brewski's wouldn't hurt neither)

It’s just a matter of time, just wait until “the authorities” begin turning these evil things loose on law abiding citizens who don’t conform to their PC, SJW, etc... agenda.

Seems like an inexpensive mod would be to add a sound frequency generator to drive off the unwanted guests.
