    It's a good meme but hogs are actually breeding like crazy in some parts to the extent that it's actually dangerous

      The funny part to me is that he thinks he can accurately kill these 30-50 hogs with an assault rifle with such precision that his small children would survive the raining down of bullets.

              Because I don't think the average person could take down 30-50 feral hogs in their backyard with an assault rifle without also hitting their children?

              Have you ever shot a gun? Hitting a moving target is difficult. Hitting 30-50 moving targets while also avoiding similarly sized moving targets is impossible. Lmao.

              I can't tell if I'm getting trolled here.

                  Ya'll both are wild. Feral hogs are fucking huge and would absolute obliterate any children that the shooter didn't hit first before you could even make a dent in a group of them.

                  I can't believe I'm even debating this its crazy. Lol

                    I'm fairly confident it's a bit. I've spent most of the last 15+ years in a variety of rural peripheries with recognized feral hog problems, and the guidance from officials is not to kit up with high capacity magazines and turn your children's play space in the backyard into a killbox.

      The reasonable response to feral hogs is a coordinated culling effort combined with deterrents and barriers, not to let chuds roam around their yards with assault weapons, hoping to get a chance to go Rambo on them.

        I mean states did do this, just through providing bounties to private companies, using the power of the market.

        Incidentally the hog population actually increased after they started paying by the hog, for some reason.

        Sure it'll be fixed soon though!

        Or we do my cool plan of introducing lions to the environment where there are hogs

      aunt's dog was killed by javelina (small, aggressive feral pigs) in arizona while she unloaded groceries.

        Why was your aunt's dog unsupervised and outside in Arizona? There are so many bobcats and mountain lions and falcons that will fuck up dogs there that when I lived in AZ, I was always told to keep small pets inside when not directly supervising them.
