I know this isn't the lounge, but I'm hoping somebody has some information.
I know the feral hog problem is acute in some areas...thousands and thousands of them ripping up crops and pastureland.
Youtube has many videos of guys with rifles equipped with night sights killing hundreds of them. I understand the necessity to do something, but I'm wondering if there is any facility...or plans for a facility...to take live-captured hogs and feed them up on good food for a short time, a few (I'm sorry) antibiotics, and slaughter them for human food.
It seems like a waste to just shoot them and let them rot...or to drastically increase the coyote population.
I raised hogs in a limited fashion for years, so I know there would be difficulties to overcome, but.. if one hog weighs 200 lbs, and you shoot 100 in one night... that's a lot of meat going to waste.
