[That’s what they said about carrier pigeons. ]


Passenger pigeons aren’t particularly bright. Pigs are some of the smartest land mammals. They can undo latches. They’re smarter than dogs and almost as smart as the lower primates.

Pigeons are actually one of the more intelligent birds, but even with the difficulty of hunting them and their vast numbers diligent hunters and trappers drove them into extinction.

I am confident we could do the same thing to feral pigs, where doing so might be a good thing, unlike the loss of the carrier pigeon.
