Oh why hello there little one
Ran out of bullets while hunting. Decided to pick up this lady. Feral hogs are a problem in Texas and cause billions of dollars in damages every year. It's a responsible hunters job to manage land, game, and wildlife.

Saving it for later, I see.

Damn, they're cute when they're little.

It's the same in Germany. The growing agriculture and increased planting of corn for gas provides with enough food for them to get a problem

Just to give an idea of how bad it is, it's not uncommon for us to drive our property with a few rifles and shoot 5 - 10 adult hogs.

I had one of those. His name was bacon.

Pigs are pretty smart. Is it possible to train them like Judas goats?

Lucky you didn't run into mom, she would've fucking gored your ass. That's what Old Yeller taught me.
FingerInYourDickHole
It's a girl! If he takes it out of the Wild and raises it, then it can't have babies!!!
FingerInYourDickHole
And thus there will be less wild boars in Texas!

Plant it...grow bacon.

That pig got a piggyback ride.

I don't know about texas, but Kentucky has laws about possessing or transporting a live wild pig, they're pretty touchy about it
ANIMEJESUS
Texas hunting laws are really strict on seasons and the amount of meat you get, not much on the transportation, unless you're a rancher.
SmashingThroughTheNo
They consider hogs varmint and don't hold to the same hunting laws. You can shoot as many as you want

That's cute. c: Don't kill him pls. Raise him like a bacon puppy.
CharlesFuckingBronson
Put her in a pen and feed her whey from a yoghurt company. Then, in about 8 months, shoot her. Then, render her fat and mail it to me.
standingalone
Mmm rendered lady pig fat. That is SO Charles Fucking Bronson!
SpitefulRed
Soap?
CharlesFuckingBronson
From females? No, I'm gonna eat that. Uncastrated male fat, I'd use for soap. Unpalatable.
SpitefulRed
Interesting. How do you eat it?
CharlesFuckingBronson
Stand in for any other fat. It has a high smoke point, great for frying. Leaf fat (from around the kidneys) is good for baking, too
SpitefulRed
That's dirty, in a lovely sort of way

Billions in damages? From pigs? Every year?
shackman
Yes they are a nightmare. They destroy everything and are crazy smart.
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
$1.5b every year, $500m in Texas alone according tothis http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-wild-pigs-ravaging-the-u-s-be-stopped/
HalloIamherenow
They eat, burrow, and destroy crop fields don't they?
PrestigeWorldwideFirstWordInEntertainment
Look it up. They destroy billions in crops every year. Hunting/trapping are the only things we can do and it's still not enough.
SwissElectrician
well, you guys are also kinda good at carpet-bombing the shit outta stuff. just sayin' :D
h3avenly
You'd carpet bomb your own farmers because of a hog problem? 10/10, you'd be better off working at McDonalds.
1metalnation
While true, carpet bombing farm land seems like a poor choice
Hazzard777
I doubt that
KingBamboo
Then do some research. Educate yourself.
rutslut
Then you have never seen a hog tear up a field. It's absolutely true.
turbotricycle
There are documentaries on netflix if you want to watch.
Hazzard777
Don't have Netflix but I trust you guys lol
someonealreadyhasmyusualusername
Don't trust people. Research and find out for yourself. It's true in this case, but you should stil confirm it on your own.
turbotricycle
It is a big number but it's accurate. They are extremely destructive. People can make a good living at hunting feral hogs.
southrndude
So...what are gonna do with it?
hiroshimaFried
Probably a pot roast I dunno

I'm guessing baconize it when it comes to the right age.
smokemybarrel
Bacon. It will become bacon one day.
frenchcook
Pigs make great pets, they are smart and friendly. But they are also stubborn and grow to huge size so, from pet to paté, I would say ?
CopperWench
Generally yes, but many of these wild ones grow up and retain more violent instincts from what I've read.
frenchcook
given its size this one will surely be bottle fed and so more tamable, especially if raised with dogs.. Otherwise well a paté it will be
Kenona
They are amazing pets for a few years, tjen they evolve into an amazing christmas dinner
frenchcook
Pigs are real life pokemons (do they eat pokemons in the serie ?)
Sororita
There are a few instances that suggest that they do.
raynre
In the anime when they first find a Farfetch'd, the pokedex says that they were so delicious they were nearly hunted to extinction.
ponystamp
In the comics yes, in the show they showed a magikarp that was cut up and cooked once. First season I think
raynre
In Gold/Silver, Team Rocket cuts off Slowpoke tails to eat and tries to sell them for a million dollars.

I'm sorry for your loss

I used to!! I just can't anymore. Yeah bacon tastes good, but those animals are treated so poorly and are so intelligent, I just can't do it

Hogs really cause billions of dollars in damage annually in Texas?
twlcorinthian
No just this one. Problem sorted now
someonealreadyhasmyusualusername
Billions nationally. About $500 million in Texas alone.
jimbobabymcgibbits
Yes. The wallow and eat crops. Also damage fences, and harass livestock.
insongwhang
Figures I found were around 400-500 millions per year in Texas, not billions.
jimbobabymcgibbits
Semantic police at it again. What the fuck ever. They're still an incredibly destructive nusiance.
insongwhang
The figures aren't even im the same ballpark. But yeah, it' still a lot of dough.
