Everybody Knows My Name |
RE: http://www.timesdaily.com/arti...6/ARTICLES/911065040
This is bizarre! When I saw the headline, I thought it was about Arkansas...either their football team or actual pig, and I was thinking that of course in Arkansas you'd have trouble with wild pigs since it's, well, ARKANSAS! I was shocked that this is happening in Florence! Which park is this? I am not familiar with that name but I probably do know of the park itself. The article says these pigs are not native? Where did they come from? |

I think it is the new one on Gunfordwale Road, right off of 20, near Cypress Creek Bridge. I own some land right down from there and have been seeing signs of them for the past year or so. I have not seen one in person yet, but if I do I plan on taking care of them. They are leaving big holes and tearing up the gound out at my place.

The wild pigs invaded city hall before they moved out there. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a public park in such an inconvenient place!

Why doesn't the city of Florence force all the smokers out there to do their smoking and choke them to death?

Wild pigs? That area is also rife with coyotes. A relative saw a loose/wild emu out there once.
Make that a double! |

I say charge hunters admission of 100 bucks each and let them 'clean up' the problem. I am sure the area would be clean as a whistle within 24 hours.

There is a guy here who charges big farmers to hunt them at night. He gets up high with a infrared scope and they don't even know what hit them.

The big department store in Berlin, KaDaWe, sells wild boar. Not too different from feral pigs. Good eating and not too bad on colesteral count, either.

Wild hogs, or "feral swine" are rapidly increasing in numbers and are occupying an ever-increasing range within the U.S. Much of this has resulted from hunters capturing the animals in one area and illegally releasing them in some other area more convenient to the hunters. In some cases, populations of wild hogs result from escapes of domestic stock, which then revert to their old wild ways. Hunters who illegally spread these nasty beasts around should be prosecuted to the full limits of the law, since wild hogs are hugely destructive of both farmland and natural habitats.

I think people think of pigs as Wilbur or Babe. Farm people used to all know that pigs are really mean, especially sows. There was the constant worry that a toddler might get into the pig pen. |

Are the pigs pretty much keeping next to the sportsplex or are they all in the general area. Reason I ask is that I have some friends who live back behind ECM that have small kids and don't want them out in this nice weather and have a pack of wild pigs running loose.
