Texas Plans Feral Hog 'Apocalypse

[longknife]

Few urbanites know what a massive danger these creatures present to farmers and rural families. They breed like crazy, are extremely intelligent, wreak havoc on crops, and are running wild.

My only problem with this is using the drug Warfarin to try to kill them. I know they claim the dosage is not harmful to other creatures but this drug is a common rat killer – as well as used to control blood levels in humans.

Wild hogs devastated the native Indian tribes farms and cultivated produce.

Not used to building fences to protect their crops from marauding animals. The Indians were at the mercy of the packs of wild hogs eating, rooting, and destroying everything in sight. ....

Yeah, I'd stick with hunting and trapping. At least you'd be able to eat the meat that way without having to worry about it being tainted with warfarin.
