There was a lot of that "cat haters are serial killers" discussion happening on the Twitter thread of that short clip of the girl disliking having the cat on her lap (it was posted here last week I think). :allears:

If you take anything more away from a ten second clip of someone grimacing at a cat sitting on their lap than either
A. nodding in solidarity (if you don't like cats) or
B. rolling your eyes (if you do like cats)

....then you are Too Online.

"Androstenone (a male pheromone) is produced in the testes as male pigs reach puberty and gives the meat a urine or sweat flavour, while skatole (a byproduct of intestinal bacteria, or bacterial metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan) is produced in both male and female pigs and gives the meat a 'fecal' flavour. "

So you're telling me when old kings would hunt boar, they were celebrating by eating toilet pork? And this was a thing for people to do?

Disease is different between countries (and time), f.ex. we don't have Brucellosis in wild boar in Sweden, and every felled animal is by law required to be tested before it can be used for anything. Trichinosis is the big fear and a very good motivator for legislating.

https://www.slu.se/forskning/kunskapsbank/publicerat/viltnotiser/sjukdomsframkallande-smittor-hos-svenska-vildsvin/

As for taste, them there kings preferred piglets. Age is one thing that greatly affects what meat tastes like, the food that fed the animal is another. This is true for all animals including humans if anyone's curious.

I haven't eaten american wilded hog or any other variant so can't speak to that, but I've thought local wild boar tastes worlds better than domesticated pig for what it's worth? Like a cross between pork and beef almost.
Also piglets are super cute and hyper intelligent and I can't bring myself to eat pig anymore.

In general, I leave dead hogs where they lay, throw them in the gut pile with unusable parts of deer, or if I have shot several we usually can find a family in that area that is glad to take them.

The deer processing place my father loves up in Petal MS made a deal with him where any hogs he got, he'd turn into sausage and take half of it as his fee.
I have bears (probably just bear singular) so there idea of a gut pile gives me the cold whim whams. Do you compost it?

Vultures and/or coyotes if I had to venture a guess. Depends on where you are in the country, I wouldn’t leave a gut pile lying around in bear country if I was planning on spending time there in the near future.

It heavily depends on the animal. A large old boar is going to be nasty. A young pig is pretty drat good and can be smoked or grilled whole for a fun party treat. Also depends on what they've been eating. Pigs living in corn fields taste different from pigs living in landfills. It's relatively common to live trap hogs and feed them corn for a couple weeks before slaughter to make them taste better.

Twitter is coming from itt now so this is the last I'll add to it: african elephants were taken with marginal .22 calibers successfully and so where wild boar. There is nothing people won't suggest .22's for. That does not make elephants into hogs, jesus

Hogs are not buffalo, but they are much harder shot than small deer or something else fragile where a regular ubiquitous north american 5.56 AR-15 could be a maybe thing as a hunting rifle choice. An AR-10 or even larger custom varaiant is a much better starting point for hunters, but even then .308 winchester isn't large in european wild boar standards. US hunting circles are way too cavalier about every. single. thing.

Boars are hunting coded which is right wing adjacent which means lefties online have to histrionically pretend like wild boars are made out of circus meat so they can be smug about it.

"Wild boars" in NA are all feral pigs descended from domestic animals brought over starting in the 17th century, they are not indigenous. The only ones that are wild are escaped Russian boars that were released here in the 30's for hunting purposes. They taste like pork, because they loving are pork. You take a pig off a farm and put it in the wild and in the very next generation the piglets will start to grow hair and tusks.

We do have Javelinas in parts of Texas and Arizona that are native to North and South America. I haven't read up on it but I would have to assume they are being outcompeted by feral pigs though. They are a lot smaller and taste amazing.

Yeah but those guys don't get above like, 60 lbs.

I mean the issues with wild pig meat are the same issues as with any game meat: it's unregulated, so it's likely to have parasites, diseases, and not have been fed on a scientifically composed diet intended to grow fat, flavorful pigs. Trichinosis effectively does not exist within the controlled commercial pork industry. Not the case with wild pork.
