Okay the 30-50 hogs thing is actually hilarious

But we do genuinely have a serious problem with wild hogs in the south and it's getting worse

You don't even need a permit to hunt wild hogs in Texas --- people fly around in fucking helicopters and shoot them on sight because there's so fucking many of them and they wreak havoc on every system they reach. They tear up entire fields of crops with ease.

Like I'm pretty sure you can go to any Cabela's in Texas and order wild hog meat on a sandwich at their store restaurant

@shaderphantom helicopters? damn, i hadn't heard of that one.

i have heard of people's uncles spending all day hunting hogs tho.

@shaderphantom mass death of hogs causes ramifications as they are left to rot that ruins ecosystems for decades

Dead Decaying animals, scienfitic description of rot 

@shaderphantom nationalgeographic.com/news/20 they need to be called and also handled properly not just dumped

@shaderphantom All day, I kept thinking about this documentary I saw on radioactive wild boars in Fukushima.
