It's a freaking feral pig! Shoot the blasted thing and be done with it. That nobody there has the sense to handle the situation in or out of that gov't is amazing. This woman is so rural she has an outhouse yet everyone out there has forgotten or handed over their ability to be self sufficient. I say turn the nation over to the pig. Anybody here have a suggestion on how to handle the problem?

Sounds like the woman wants it as a pet. Good luck taming it. That pig will cause a lot of trouble no matter where it goes. The best solution it to shoot it and invite all the neighbors for a roast.

humans are indeed on a pig's menu, they litteraly are 'eaters of oppurtunity'. get some bushman in there with his .303 and put a hole or 3 in the derned thing.

Doesn't have to have a dang thing to do with guns... it is about a huntable animal... Guns or dogs or archery gear would suffice. So i vote to leave the thread alone. My hog hunting rarely includes my guns...

Real Quick Pig Fact
How fast do domestic pigs go feral? It's fast, very fast, that much I know, but how fast exactly?

I venture to say that once free of a pen and food source is located they won't want much to do with humans!

Even here in Norway were all animals are off limits unless other is established by the wildlife department, i would say the unofficial standard procedure for sutch situations is a permanent, terminal solution. I am thinking something like a 30-06.
We dont have any kind of huntable bore in Norway, yet. But they are comming from the south-east, from Sweden.

If she wants a pet pig she should aquire one of those little Vietnamese pot belly pigs about the size of a terrier. Otherwise maybe some pepper spray would work on that hogs sensetive nose. Wait pepper spray is a defensive weapon sort of thing. Maybe not allowed, either! Or it might make a good seasoning before the roast! Spicy pork. Ummmm

Tom, The problem there is a potbelly will be small for about 3 months...
I have seen penned up full grown potbelly pigs sporting 5 inches of ivory out of their mouth. And they do crossbreed in the wild with other feral species. I once knew a booby dancer/hooker (really she was just a friend) that thought that chihuahua size piglet would be her motel companion for ever! Funny how fast them squealing cuties will grow into a gruntin' porker... The piglet grew real fast too Brent |

I think we need a better solution than just shooting the pig. Like hogzilla should have been, we need to catch this pig and tranquilize him for shipment. The object is to get him hungry, then turn him loose in the building or cave where some Al Quaeda big wig is holed up.

Feral hogs have no natural enemy other than man. If killing the hog is not wanted, then it needs to be trapped in a pin set, tranquilized, and hauled off to the far outback. Frankly, I'd just kill the thing and call it a memory.

First, get three thousand gerbils
then set up a gerbil basic training post next train them in at least three martial arts... Oh wait, never mind Just shoot the dang thing and be done with it. If you won't kill it use a trank dart with some anesthetic like trazedone or something, thorazine, anything. Then haul the sucker off to slaughter.
