30-50 feral hogs?
Yeah, I’m going to need a 30 calibre clip and the shoulder thing that goes up.
Dang it
Better be quick, I hear you have to deal with that sort of problem within 3-5 minutes…
So like human beings?
Do not want to defend those hog releasers - it’s just that we are the biggest threat to nature, not some hogs.
I mean this just sounds like free bacon what’s not to like
Enormous ecological and financial damage?
Feral hogs tend to not be particularly good eating, actually. Too lean. They are incredibly destructive, and pretty dangerous too. They are a problem here in the Southern United States also. Why anyone would release hogs intentionally is unimaginable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Limestone Coast Landscape Board has recorded three outbreaks of feral pigs in the past 18 months, which it has worked to eradicate before populations could be established.
The outbreaks were geographically isolated from one another and while the first two only involved 10 and two pigs respectively, the third has resulted in more than 70 being killed by trapping and aerial shooting.
But the board’s manager of landscape operations, Mike Stevens, said all signs pointed to the latest outbreaks being illegal releases.
He said a pregnant wild sow could lead to a population growth of about 75 pigs over the course of a year in ideal breeding conditions.
“We need people giving us the heads up if they are moving close to the border and making their way over this side, we need to be on the front foot.”
Conservation and Hunting Alliance of South Australia president Graham Stopp said his group didn’t condone illegally releasing feral pigs.
