Pig Hunter's Bounty, Queensland, Northern Australia.

in #pigs7 years ago

I came across these Feral Pigs which had been shot and lined up on the Side of the Gravel Road. Feral Pigs are a big problem here in Australia, both in Cropping Districts and in the Outback, Cane Farms and Dairy Farms. They are numerous. I have no problems with these Pigs being shot, so long as it done without unnecessary suffering. Nikon 001.JPG Nikon 002.JPGh

Cant make bacon out of it?

Nah, not really, it's feral pig. Their flesh smells really bad as they eat dead animals, and they also have worms ( Parasites) so it's not healthy to eat them like they are. It is possible to eat them if you catch small pigs, worm them out and grow them to a good size, then they taste like normal porkers.

Definitely doesn't sound appetizing.

I have no problem either, only the wasting of the meat.

The other feral pigs cleaned them up in the next day or so, i could not find them a few days later....gone.

ok thats good. Any problem with wild pigs attacking people or domestic animals?

Yes and yes. I have had Big Boars attack guys on their bikes, and also one Boar ripped open a guys leg, but he provoked the animal and deserved it for his stupidity....10 days in hospital. We also have wild Brumbies ( Horses ), and the Stallions have viciously attacked people on horseback, one girl needing surgery after the horse ripped her neck open.

I here there are more wild pigs in Australia than people. Wow wild horses too. Not to mention the poison snakes.

Wild Bulls, scorpions, spiders, angry emus, dropbears and all the rest too.

You guys got your hands full. No second amendment down there to protect yourselves.

Farmers can get guns here.

this is not correct
Agreed with you mate

If we all agreed on everything, it would be a boring world !

I heard what Australia has over23 million feral pigs in , it is outnumbering the continent's human population of 21 million :D So it means each Australian citizen can have his own pig or so :))

Possibly, but these ones do not make good pets. The little ones can be kept and wormed out and grown to make a tasty porker though.

Use porker meat is better idea than take kangaroos for meat. Kangaroos for me or for europeans looks closed exotic animals :)

I don't like the taste of Kangaroo. They are very common animal.

Look at the poor and pitiful pigs .. 😢 Do you live in the desert or savannah? I see you often post about hot dry places with large shrubs and wildlife. @@ Are you there?

I have a Property there yes , but actually i live in Sydney.

So is your place in the heat very hot and dry? Oh that is not a city and there are many people 😨?

Yes, the farm is very hot and dry. My nearest neighbor house is about 30 km away. Not many people there. But i only go there maybe once in a month, i live in Sydney, thats a city.

I also think you live in the city. Is the internet farm popular?😎

What do you mean by "the Internet Farm" ?

My question would like to ask you: is your farm and the places around it have internet installations? 😅

No, nothing. No phone reception, no internet. Thats why you can relax there.

It's not desert or savannah, but almost. Lots of Snakes and Lizards.

So is your place in the heat very hot and dry? Oh that is not a city and there are many people 😨?

They look like sleeping after some meals and (a lot of) drinks:)

As long as they don't wake up when the other pigs come and eat them !
