Guess we'll see these soon. Bigger targets.

Feral hogs been cross breeding with escaped domestics for years.

'Dig the "Judas pig" idea in the article.

By 'we,' you mean Texas? Not likely.

First and foremost, these are not giant or super pigs. The adults typically weigh 120-250 lbs, surprisingly similar to Texas hogs.

Crossbred pigs? Are there any that are not? Even the ferals and domestics in Europe will breed with Wild Boar and have been for hundreds of years, if not many thousands of years (given that hogs were domesticated in Europe and Asia 8-10k years ago).

If you really want to watch some top notch spin doctoring on feral hogs in the US (and many parts of the world), try to find some full episodes of the Pig Bomb from the Discovery Channel. This is from about 14 years ago. Between the the embellishments, misrepresentations, and outright lies, you would think we were in the apocalypse. Here is a brief teaser. It is short, but see how many misstatements you can find...

They are the only animal that I kill without provocation. The ones on my place are loaded with ticks. When I trap or shoot one, I spray down with insecticide. Then drag it off and burn it.

Don't know if I'm buying the article, but Canadian Super Hogs is a pretty good band name.

Does the Montreal Canadiens have cheerleaders?

Just hogs like we have down here but bred for the cold weather

No Canadian Bacon jokes?

But they make and sleep in Pigloo's.

These people writing the articles really need to get out more.... I read a similar article last year, and now this years article has really exploded across the internet. Seems to me these are the same hogs we have in texas, the only difference is the northern liberals found out about them and are freaking out.

Funny how they freak out when it shows up on their doorstep like illegal aliens in New York....ROFL

"Things like this are only a problem in my backyard, not in yours."

NIMBY is a very real issue when it comes to change in society due to changes in situational context. Everybody is guilty of it to some extent, I think. We all love bacon and porkchops, by nobody wants a pig farm next door. We all love electricity, but most certainly don't want power towers, powerstations on our property. We love oil and gas, but unless we own the mineral rights and make money from it, nobody wants oil and gas wells on their property. We all love to throw away garbage, but nobody wants the new landfill next door.

I wish I'd get a shot at one of those 600 pounders, those lucky Canadians. Decendants from the trudeau family.

To paraphrase Shakespeare: first, shoot all Canadians...hogs that is.
