feral pigs are in oregon, vertmont, new hampshire, michigan, and pennsylvannia. what are we going to find out next, house sparrows and starlings are invasive?
🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗
Are they tasty to eat?
Build a wall! 😂😂
Sport hunting is the answer, it’s for the ham and bacon
Nbc, I still have have indictment decorations up so let’s just wait on this story, tilm trump wins 2024
Time for talented shooters to prove themselves . Cheaper bacon prices locally. Better crops.
The emu had met its match
Well where is the Trump Wall?
Texas already has plenty of these pigs lol
You’ve already lost.
Super pigs 😂 let’s just call um what they are, feral pigs. And we have more than our share of them here in the states. Every state!
Cody told me… 5 Years Ago!
If only someone in America on in assault rifle and a hunting license that they didn’t need…
Maybe we should open the school for Pigs, oh wait we already have those
My reoccurring nightmare as a child, was myself and my family being killed by these. 😶
Open season
Lol so dumb
In Australia we find trapping far superior to shooting. Trapping is silent and we can get a whole mob, shooting only gets a percentage and just frightens off survivors that learn from the experience. We trapped 1205 in first week.
Time to bring back the McRib😋
I bow hunt and encounter pigs often here in rural Louisiana. I’ve been very close to pigs. They are very mean and move in groups called sounders. When pigs come across land without much human footprint or pressure, make no mistake they will move during daylight.
sound like free pork to me…..
The gravity of this issue warrants that all reports be printed with indelible oink. Cheers!
An abundance of breakfast is all I see
This title is stupid. The US was where these wild boars originated. Christopher Columbus brought the Eurasian boar to the islands and then Hernando De Soto brought them to Florida. The whole epidemic started with 6-12 of them and they mated with western pigs and here we are today. The US has 6 Million. Canada doesn’t even have half that.
And their not super pigs in Canada. They’re literally the exact same thing we have.
BBQ… time to start hunting and cooking
These pigs are very vicious and will attack you just for looking their way
Canadian Manbearpig South Park predicted it
Hunting has wiped out big cats in America and not you have to deal with this
Instead of killing them they could be used to feed the few cats but as always get the guns n lets go hunting
Well, you know where you get super bacon from 👍👍👍🥓🥓🦸♂️
the design was bacon
Hire me I’m an indian, I will make vindaloo
The boars are american you liars
Gringos just want an excuse to start shooting. Why not eat them?
Any animal has the potential to carry illnesses, deer could be sick from ticks, rabies, etc. and ppl still hunt them for meat. Soo?? 🤔
If they can’t stop the Mexicans they not gonna stop the super pigs
hmmmm baconnnn…………free hog roast
Ummm…..they can be processed and make great smoked ham and sausage. And you haven’t lived until you’ve had cinghiale (wild boar) ragu with fresh pasta (pappardelle) ….potential for disease transmission could be a problem.
Another not so benign transplant – easy to start, nigh impossible to eradicate.
Only predator I believe that could control their numbers is the komodo dragon. If it were possible to set up an electrical fence enclosing the hogs and let a few dragons get busy. Repeat
Superpigs? They look kinda small. Funny muricans.
Yeah thanks a lot to whoever bred these pigs that we have here in North America region with boars from Europe that was a very genius idea no it wasn’t
I thought this was going to be a video about Trudeau and his cronies. It sure looked like him in the thumbnail photo.
🤣😂😅
Did they really escape though? Or was it an “accident” to avoid feeding or slaughtering costs?
The excuses for not letting us hunt them were weak
BBQ
American, you have guns… a lot of them. Rather than school shooting, why not pigs shooting…
With soaring food costs thanks to our corrupt govt, these pigs might come in handy some day.
Canadian super pigs? The ones that come from Ottawa?
Sounds like we should be having an abundance of bacon & pork chops
Canadian bacon!!!!
I heard they indicted a super pig in New York yesterday.
Can we have vegans watch this please?
Bacon about to be cheaper than ever.
Can I get a Hooya..
Queue man bear pig
looks tasty to me
“They are the most invasive large mammal on the planet.” Excluding humans.
Is this…..real???
Wolf…
Bears will be happy.
I need a south park episode on this!
Free meat!
Hunting season
Call the authorities? By that time it’s too late.
Not another pig 🐖 war with Canada.
I say green light these pigs. Feed em to the poor. A 40 caliber will drop a SUPER PIG SUPER FAST. Gotta show these pigs who’s on top of the food chain.
More votes for biden just like the ones on the southern border
Indiscriminate slayings of these wild Pigs is a must have, even as a game preserved. They’re food and they need to be halved or eliminated.
Calm down. These reporters are such sissies. We shoot hogs all the time here in Texas. The meat is way better than venison or beef.
Delicious!
That’s delicious
How about the violent criminal/monkeys……..
We should be eating them.
I would be more worried about super liberals crossing over.the hogs at least have a food aspect
Time to Python Cowboy In Florida. Him and his dog Moose will catch these nasty pigs
Yum yum… let them come!!!
We call them conservatives….they are pigs but not super….the big pig is Pierre Polivare…he is yours take him back please and do what you wish with him……
Super? You Americans have lost your minds.
“Razor sharp tusks”? They are less sharp than a nail. You can’t shave with a round edge, bud.
So that’s where Canadian bacon comes from?
If they are already in the United states just give up
Thank God for food at least for the next 500 years.
We need to turn them into bacon
In other news pork prices fall for the third straight day
Lmfao Vanda here no pigs in Canada but great try idots
Reparations for Foundational black Americans
Looks delicious
Let’s eat
Proper pork, organic cutlets
Bring your pythons Florida!!!
All I see is Bacon!
Coyotes, Swine and Supermarket/School Shooters. What else?
Hilarious. We’ll stop wild pigs from entering the country at our northern border but will do nothing to stop illegal immigrants at our southern border who cause even more damage to the country. How is that fair? lol.
Loads magazine quietly 🤫
Mr Powers had better make peace with failure right now. He can’t stop them. Further, here in Texas, we don’t “sport hunt” hogs. We welcome those who do, but we are making every effort to exterminate them. They are mostly nocturnal, so we stay up all night when they are destroying our land. Heck, we are allowed to purchase night vision and thermal imaging devices tax-free with our ag numbers. Remember, they have up to 16 piglets EVERY 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. Sorry for y’all up north, but you better get ready for a target rich environment. Good luck!
All the hunters and gun loving citizens are salivating rii now 😂
Guns + Pigs = ? Take your time now. 😂😂😂
Catch-and-release spay and neuter.
Cody from now this news has been talking about this for years.
