How the hell is that even legal?!

[Jimbuna]

I'd be putting that sicko out in the field....after training a boar on how to operate a mini-gun :nope:

Some peoples' kids!:stare::nope:

Wild hogs are a huge problem in Texas, they destroy land, property and even kill and injure farm animals in some cases. The population is out of control.

If these hogs were released from a cage to be mowed down that's pretty sick. But I'd say if a hog is in the wild you should be able to hunt the vermin with almost any non nuclear weapon.

I'm doing my part! But I don't need a minigun :har:

So they are in Berlin, where flocks of them even walk deep into the human neighbourhoods, sometimes parading in family groups on main streets and having lost all shyness. And hunting them probably by now is the only solution, yes.

I also think you should hunt those - mostly elderly - idiots still feeding them. :dead:


Still, this video is sick, and so is the mind of the man finding it funny to do what he does. I assume he also would find it entertaining to clusterbomb surfacing whales, or hunt roe deer by handgrenades?

Na bitte - geht doch!

Na bitte - geht doch!

Does that mean (more or less) "Well there you go!"

There is not a better more humane way to deal with these wild hogs?

Hunt them with a knife. Then you'll both be on an even playing field.:doh:

I once hit a German wild boar with an axe handle right between his beady little eyes. It didn't even stun him.

Sherman tank crews had a similar problem....

Would that that were the case, but boars are very very tough creatures, and if they get a hold of you they will mess you up in a very big way, heck, kill you given half the chance. Probably the best humane and cost effective way is a high powered rifle.

Let's face it, even Lions given hogs respect in Africa and will generally only go after them if they are very hungry. Those tusks do not mess around.

EDIT: Could try sterilisation, I suppose...but there's no telling what kind of effects that would have further down the food chain, like the attempt to reduce the rabbit population in Australia by introducing Myxomatosis, which then spread outside of Australia and became the rabbit version of the Black Death.
The way I look at this kind of thing is, if you skin and cook that boar for dinner then that's fair enough, killing for the sake of killing is not something I can really get behind.

I know it's not legal to do that here...but dang....

There are some people who really flip when they've got unwanted animals on their property but this is a new level of animal massacre.

Half of me is thinking that this is horrible and the other half is thinking "This could be useful..."

We have beavers that build a dam on a creek my family owns. They built it, water levels raised and washed away the only spot where it was safe to cross in a vehicle. Now, going out to the farmland/hunting land is very very inconvienient. We nearly lost a truck in the creek because of this. A few years back we got several beavers but they keep coming back. We gave up.

This would take care of the beavers, the dam, the trees around the bank, and the other debris. Idk. It's illegal and sorta sick I guess.

These beavers, however, have proven to us that they do not give a rip what we do to make them leave. At one point, they started weaving the dead bodies of beavers into their own dam.

[Oberon]

Thought of building a bridge? :hmmm:

Besides, even if you used a Davy Crockett on the beavers, that would just kill the ones there, more would come eventually. They've been around longer than you have. :O:
Of course, the radiation from the Davy Crockett would mean that they would be six legged beavers and they'd probably build their dam from plutonium...

EDIT: Also, it's not really a new level of animal massacre, not in the nation that brought you this:

Well I've never enjoyed killing for sport, heck, I don't even like killing spiders and insects, so it disgusts me on the surface but I know this needs to be done in some manner. It's mostly that I respect life as something special no matter what the form.

What if you plan on eating it though? I agree that killing something for "sport" is bad but if you plan on eating it it's ok IMO.

[Skybird]

Using a minigun for "hunting" already is perverse.

But the situation as to be seen in the video does not give me the impression that it was hunting or a farmer fighting off a hog plague off his land. It seems to me that the animals deliberately were released in a killing field that was prepared, fenced and the minigun set up, so that the shooter could take enjoyment form just going berserk and mowing them down.

I accept hunting for eating and clothing (if the hunting is properly done and no dilettante at work), and to fight off an animal plague - with trophy hunting I already have problems, I do not accept it. But massacring animals for entertainment - that is sick.

You could as well bind a buck to a tree and then start lobbing grenades on him.

BTW, I accept the need to hunt hogs in certain areas, like in Berlin (there they just fight an uphill battle against lobby groups preventing to hunt them more determined. But note that almost always where humans claim they must "regulate" nature, the described messy situation arises from man having messed up nature before and damaging its "checks and balances" :)

As far as wild pigs are concerned, I like them. Very intelligent and social animals, and although they can be dangerous due to their robustness and viciousness (and teeth :) )if going into battle mode, usually they are peaceful, but curious. In Berlin people in certain areas of the city have frequent contact with them. And by that I mean so close distances to them so that you could touch them (if you are really that mindless). It looks dangerous and it certainly is, because a chance for accident always remains, something beyond people's control may scare the animals, and then they may turn against you.

Sterilization, maybe poisoned lures if that can be done without threatening other animals, rigid hunting, and draconic financial penalties for idiots still feeding them (yes, you read that right), that would be the things to do. And all three options get bitterly fought against by many Berlin citizens and even worse: the legal situation and the bureaucracy themselves.

But okay, not my business, my last contacts living in Berlin have fled the city already years ago. That was not the pig's fault, however.

That is true. I know I said that this could help me (although it's impossible given the circumstances)....but that's something I just don't do. Unless you're going to eat it...don't shoot it. It's a waste.

I hate poachers so much. They ruin the hunting in my area and they're killing just for fun... :stare:

[Betonov]

Hogs are also a problem here.
Shooting one or two to keep numbers to an acceptable level is not wrong.

But using a minigun, it says two things:

-LOOK AT ME, THE BADASS
-it's smaller than a peanut (you know what)

[Jimbuna]

What if you plan on eating it though? I agree that killing something for "sport" is bad but if you plan on eating it it's ok IMO.

I should imagine you'd break most of your teeth on the amount of lead in the meat.

[MH]

Using mini gun is still shooting at animals I guess.
Sort of crazy , yes ... but still shooting.

Drones well...that is something else.:haha:

[STEED]

Didn't we hunt ours to extinction in the UK? :hmmm:

As for the video....moron.

I wasn't talking about that video. I was asking about in general.
