A desperate, bloody war in Texas

Onkel Neal · 07-03-21, 01:54 PM

I live in an rural area that is surrounded by woods and fields, the few houses are spaced out with lots of room. Naturally, wild animals like racoons, armadillos and deer make forays into the area under the cover of darkness. I don't mind that but I do have a problem with wild feral hogs, they come in and root up the yards, turning it into a scarred, muddy wasteland. I put up a game camera and the very next night...

This aggression can not stand.

Soem scenes for Berlin. Note: all in daylight.

And things like this do not happen that rarely.

Estimations for how many there are, range between 5 and 10 thousand. And that was years ago. Huntiong programs are beign run, but shooting inside cities is something that has the authorities on their toes.

Scenes from Steven Spielberg's upcoming new movie, "Fangs".

Jeezus, old naked dudes and wild pigs on the beach! That's just messed up.

Seriously, 5 to 10,000 is not too bad, but as you know, they reproduce rapidly, almost a quickly as rabbits. In a few years you may see a lot more pigs.

Even though hunters and trappers are killing approximately 30 percent of the hog population in Texas annually, hog numbers are still growing by about 20 percent each year. Biologists and wildlife managers estimate that 70 percent of the hogs in the state will have to be killed each year just to maintain the population and even more must be killed to actually start reducing their numbers. Unfortunately, hog hunting and trapping are already going nearly full bore in Texas. Right now, these operations are taking less than half the number of hogs necessary to stop their explosive population growth and it's doubtful this can be achieved by those with trapping and hunting alone.

There's an estimated 6-9 million in the southern US, with 2.5 million in Texas alone.

Moonlight mentioned this in my own thread Euromillions, where he mentioned donkeys as guard.
It has to be the right type of donkeys though

Wonder what those neighbors would think of some Tannerite at night?

Berlin. Capitol of the hog republic. Its a miracle that not more violent clashes happen there. When i say they roam districts of the city by hundreds of animals, its not an exaggeration. Often in daylight. In populated streets. In traffic. Like other cities have ducks in the parks.

Clever animals. Vefy intelligent, they can assess situations very well. I like them, though not in these Berlin ways of life.
Its just like with bears. Never get positioned between a mum and her kids. That reads trouble.

It is their world, too. No one gives a sh!t about their natural environment and resources.

Moonlight · 07-03-21, 05:24 PM

Yep, it was their back garden long before humans invaded it, knock all the buildings down and move somewhere else, preferably on another continent.
