The local Fukushima government recently published a guidebook of suggestions to help officials tackle the wild boar problem, including building special traps and using drones to ward off the animals.

I think there's a famous goon who can hook them up...

A goon named Bushman I think) hunts wild pigs in the rice fields of Louisiana, using drones, rifles, and occasionally a spear.

Wait till it grows up. Feral boars are gigantic assholes that destroy everything they can find for fun and don't think twice about charging people.

Thanks to Chernobyl, Europe is also full of radioactive boars. For example, Radioactive wild boar roaming the forests of Germany

quote:

Outside the hunting community, wild boar are seen as a menace by much of Germany society. Autobahns have to be closed when boar wander onto them, they sometimes enter towns and, in a famous case in 2010, a pack attacked a man in a wheelchair in Berlin.
But radioactive wild boars stir even darker fears.

Has this been the plot of a movie yet?

Has this been the plot of a movie yet?

It's the new, gritty origin story of Razorback. Mild-mannered truck driver Buford hits a boar in his truck. Low on cash, he butchers the animal and eats it, unaware of it's radioactive properties. The radiation poisoning doesn't give him superpowers, just enough brain damage to think strapping an electrified pig carcass to his head is a good idea.

Another pet cobra went missing in Central Florida last night

quote:

Police officials were told that a man was shadowing the owner of the cobra so he could get his license to handle poisonous/venomous reptiles and snakes. The man was at the home while the owner was at work.

The apprentice did not see the cobra in its confinement area so he tried different tactics to get the snake to move around. The man then got a shield and lifted the top cover of the snake's cage. The cobra jumped at him – almost standing straight up – and then slid away. The man made sure the room was secure and called the owner.

This is all you need to know about the last time a cobra escaped.

89-year-old man found in suitcase identified as WWII veteran

posted:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Police say an 89-year-old man whose body was discovered in a suitcase on a rural Arkansas farm was a World War II veteran from New York.

Johnstown, New York, police Lt. David Gilbo tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/2mxou3X ) that Robert Brooks died of natural causes at his home about a month before his body was discovered in Arkansas on March 5. Gilbo says investigators are still trying to determine why his body was moved.

Two people considered to be caregivers of Brooks have been detained on suspicion of abuse of a corpse.

Brooks served in the military and was a gunner in a B-17 bomber's ball turret.
