I agree.

And I’ll add any animal to that list.

Even dogs can form packs that are dangerous. If you want or have a pet, it’s your responsibility to control it and train it.

There was that one filmed at the Biltmore Estate....came out in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s. Hannibal Lecter?

Wild pigs are a problem everywhere and some states have open season.

They were first brought by the Spanish and of course they escaped as pigs do. Many of them have bred with the British “pink” pigs and produce a hideous looking but huge critter.

I live in Florida in an area that has them and I’m very careful. I turned around and came back on a trail just yesterday after I saw that it was covered with huge hog prints!

On the other hand, some of the pure pata negra Spanish pigs would make wonderful ham. The problem is our hot, damp climate. We have the pigs and we need to find some way to do this!

Four legs good; two legs bad.
Carmel, CA had a serious problem and decided to humanely fix the problem by culling half of the estimated pigs. That worked./s

The Romans brought them to the holy land, so they could feast and party as the Romans are famous for. They’ve been here ever since. Lebanon is welcome to them.

... the U.S. well behind at six recorded fatalities in the past 100 years...

I'm just not going to fret over them.

Why not put them on trebuchets (siege catapaults’) and fling them at border mosques on the Lebanese side, thus giving peoplewho lack good sects, a swine time?

I am going to disagree with you a bit. Feral animals, if they are destructive yes. Domestic animals that are just wandering by, no.

We have neighborhood dogs and cats that wander. They do no harm and we leave them be. We also have chickens that wander and a goat that used to get out and visit.

The goat is destructive. The owner was warned and now he makes sure to keep him in.

But the chickens are not a problem.

A .45-70 to the head or heart will put it down.

Then its BBQ time

David Packard (hp) had a ranch south of Mt. Hamilton in the SF/Monterey Bay area. A friend hunted there one year with permission and a 7 Rem mag. He brought a BBQ’d ham and a sharp knife to the lunch room. Excellent sandwiches for several days.

They are everywhere in Texas, and they are dangerous.

They even have their own TV show now it's called 'The View'.

Did you see the story about some of the IDF troops on the Lebanon border using a trebuchet?

They were using it to toss fireballs on the hillside to set the brush on fire so that the terrorists wouldn’t have a hiding place; there is a video and it is hilarious.

I’ve heard of doing things old school but this is ridiculous —but funny at the same time.

Has a wild pig ever killed a shark?
