Several southern states now allow wild hogs to be sold to slaughter houses. Only restriction is they must be delivered alive for USDA inspection at the slaughter house. I have a couple friends who make a small fortune trapping and selling wild hogs for slaughter.

Good, they’re pests. If some people can make some cash getting rid of destructive wild hogs then even better! Texas has a gigantic wild hog problem. Seen some videos showing the destruction they cause to crops and the land. Was surprised at how destructive just a few can be, can’t imagine what thousands can do. Props to your friends for trying to take care of this problem.

I live in Germany. Here wild boar are hunted and consumed. They actually taste like good quality 'standard' pork. Before I stopped eating pork for religious reasons, I ate them too. Better to eat them than to waste them I guess.

One new-ish thing some people are trying is leaving out feed that has cotton seeds mixed in. Something in cotton seeds acts as a contraceptive in male pigs. Eating them makes the boars infertile for 4-8 weeks. Some people are reporting good results. It's only been a couple of years since people started doing the cotton seed thing. I hope it turns out to be an effective tool in the long term.

Yep the book Charlotte's Web is a good intro to this. The family's a farming family, they bought a piglet in the spring, the "runt" so it was cheaper, and the pig (Wilbur) got the family's leftover food each day along with general animal feed. This is what people would often do. You got a piglet and thus had an animal to feed your food scraps to, the pig would grow through the year, then around Christmas or so, you'd slaughter the pig and have had your year's worth of food scraps turned into delicious pork. Of course this didn't happen in Charlotte's Web because it was a story for Boomers and Boomers are scared by reality.

Here in Czech Republic we have a long tradition of farming carp in big fish ponds. Carp is considered a Christmas fish and every December we have lots of carp markets where you can buy live carp and have them in your bathtub until you kill them and eat them on the Christmas Eve. The meat is not bad but compared to salmon or trout it's trash and has a lot of big and small sharp bones. The bones fall off the spine and you have to pick them 1 by 1. Most people I know have switched to salmon for Christmas.

Piped to a power plant and used as fuel to power the turbines creating electricity. With EV vehicles coming, the need for power may create a need for hogs

@@pixpusha the dead pigs came from a hog farm operation. The operation is massive, imagine about a mile or more road with four large buildings holding hogs. Every set of buildings is 200 yards apart all along this stretch of road. And the sets of four buildings also go a quarter of a mile back on both sides of the road. We’re talking about millions of hogs. Some of the hogs are going to die accidentally, and the carcasses are placed outside away from the buildings. Truck stops by to pick up carcasses and haul them to the plant. But that’s not all they do. They also collect all the excrement and run it through a treatment program before mixing it big field with top soil used as fertilizer. So they make bacon, electricity, and fertilizer.

Hunters are fine, poachers can all die and the animal kingdom would be just fine. Hunters do more for conservation than any group like PETA has ever done. The revenue from permits and tags goes towards protecting the animals and their habitats. I’m a gun owner but don’t hunt. Have nothing against it at all as long as you do it legally and don’t waste anything. Fresh meat is far healthier than the supermarket food that’s been pumped full of antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives and who knows what else. Fishing is also great for conservation. Poachers re just hunters that don’t follow the law…. They can all walk off a cliff as far as I’m concerned.

@Itried20takennames Жыл бұрын

Yeah and no, and if you think the money hunters pay to kill and pose with a dead elephant, or lion, etc. goes to “preserving the animals”…that is fairly naive. Of course they say that, but mainly, the money goes into the pockets of people arranging the hunt, with only a token amount to conservation. And I am fine with hunting if it’s a clean kill, and if the meat is used, and the population is too large for the food supply, and done in the right season and the right age/gender is culled, etc…..but that is a lot of “ifs” ….and doubt those are done most of the time. Even if the hunter wants to, they will eventually miss and end up with a buck running off with a cross bow embedded in its shoulder, to slowly die of infection in pain, with the meat only used by scavenger animals, who were going to get it anyway. And can’t prove it, but I suspect only a minority of hunters use the meat to eat, and either leave the carcass after taking pics and maybe the horns, or stick it in their freezer for years, before throwing it out due to “freezer burn.” And don’t think there is any hard evidence that “fresher” meat improves people’s health, and wild animals are teeming with parasites that can be transmitted to people, including through meat and it’s processing.

@silver474 Жыл бұрын

@@Itried20takennames⁠⁠I’ve been surrounded by hunters my whole life. The game wardens are on people all the time checking permits and kills. so hunters are very particular about their kills. And if it’s too much meat, they have people to give it to. If a hunter makes a bad shot, most will hike for hours to find the animal. And they will practice aiming far more so it doesn’t happen again. Hunting also helps keep populations healthy by mixing up the gene pools. Predators generally take the sick, old, and young. You do a lot of assuming.

@bur_n_t Жыл бұрын

@@Itried20takennamesyoure assuming so much its painful. just about everything you said is false. you assume most hunting is trophy hunting, which isnt true. if done legally, yes, it goes into much needed conservation efforts, and helps keep the population in check. most people eat or share their kills, and the amount of animals they can kill is heavily regulated. harvesting yout own protein is also far more environmentally and ethically friendly than eating mass farmed meat. its much better for the environment than if no one hunted. also, even trophy hunting is good sometimes, as it clears up older males whose presence is not needed, allowing younger males to have a chance. you should probably look into the benefits of hunting more, *you* seem naive.

if your pork meat have a piss odour when cooking or frying it means that it come from male pig that wasn't castrated. This odour very common in UK because Castration in pigs is not widely practised in the UK and is prohibited under current Assured British Pigs Farm Assurance Standards 😀 It is however standard practice in other parts of the EU and outside the EU.
