Nope. New poison that kills without passing on toxin, sodium nitrite (the secret ingredient in bacon). Pig falls asleep and dies if it was a lethal dose, if not a lethal dose wakes up from a nap.

I didn’t mean to imply that any animal isn’t welcome.

Yes, some are beneficial, but if they show a pattern of aggressive or destructive behavior and the person does not control them or try to, but allows it to continue after being talked to, IMO, all bets are off.

Tha5’s good. At least, if you catch it asleep, it’s easier to dispatch. Won’t fight back.

When walking half a mile through brush in South Texas, just before dusk, there is nothing like the sound, on two sides, of multiple wild boar, clicking their tusks, to fill you with a resolution to never find yourself in that position again, without a firearm.

Hog-nado.

Hogzilla.

Hogzilla vs. Gypsy Mothra

Hogs of the Corn

Zombie Hog

Night of the Living Hogs

How Fast Can You Run

Maws

Frankenhog

The Hogman

Big Ass Hog

Moby Hog

the Hogs

This could revive lagging box office revenue in Hollyweird. If only they still had any imagination left and didn’t just keep copying copies of copies of copies of homage to early 20th century film makers and rehash the same crap… oh, is that what I was suggesting? Never mind. There’s MONEY to be made.

An additional benefit would be to keep city-dwellers the hell away from my farm out in the country and stop building all those micro mcmansions popping up in clusters of 5-20 sucking up all the ground water from the aquifer.

I remember a movie in the 1980s about a giant hog in Australia. Here in the Ozarks the wild hogs shot are left to rot as they are usually infected with psudo-rabies.

Ping! You could start a new discussion about defending against pigs with handguns.

It also bears mention that swine are not native to the Americas. These all are an invasive species, starting with pigs that Columbus brought on his second voyage in 1493 that escaped or were left behind. The enviro-weenies shouldn't have any heartburn with exterminating them. These are not Conquistadores brought that escaped. escaped

Yes, but what about sharks with laser beams attached to their heads.

I worked in a pig feeding operation.
One sick pig got loose in another operation and it infected all the other pigs.
The operation lost their @$$

Feral is probably a better word.

There are no true wild pigs in North America. Just Peccaries. Same order, different family.

I wonder what kills more people a year, an AR-15 or wild pigs?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
People with an AR-15 or with some other deadly weapon kill a far greater number of people than are killed by wild animals, including pigs. Of course “deadly” weapons only become deadly when people, intentionally or accidentally misuse them.
