Isn't it true that if you took a run-of-the-mill pink pig and let it loose in the wild that it will become feral in a frighteningly short amount of time? That they even grow back their tusks as well?

That they even grow back their tusks as well? It's essentially true. Some won't change all that much outside of behavior because a lot of it is hormonal but they very quickly adjust to their new living situation and everything that goes with it, usually.

I always thought it would be cool to own a small pig farm for whenever you need to dispose of about 100 to 200 pounds of meat super fast

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Picktonquote:By 1992, Robert William Pickton and his brother David owned a Port Coquitlam farm. Worker Bill Hiscox called it a "creepy-looking place", noting that it was patrolled by a 600-lb. (270 kg) boar, one of the few actual pigs on the farm. "I never saw a pig like that, who would chase you and bite at you," he said. "It was running out with the dogs around the property." He later described Pickton as a "pretty quiet guy, hard to strike up a conversation with," whose occasionally bizarre behavior, despite no evidence of substance abuse, would draw attention. Pickton's only vehicle was a converted bus, with deeply tinted windows, to which he was emotionally attached. quote:Forensic analysis proved difficult because the bodies may have been left to decompose or be eaten by insects and pigs on the farm. During the early days of the excavations, forensic anthropologists brought in heavy equipment, including two 50-foot (15-meter) flat conveyor belts and soil sifters to find traces of remains. On March 10, 2004, it was revealed that Pickton may have ground up human flesh and mixed it with pork that he sold to the public; the province's health authority later issued a warning.[14][15][16][17] Another claim was made that he fed the bodies directly to his pigs.[18]

 quote:A preliminary inquiry was held in 2003, the testimony from which was covered by a publication ban until 2010. At the inquiry, the fact that Pickton had been charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing of prostitute Wendy Lynn Eistetter in 1997 was revealed. Eistetter testified at the inquiry that after he had driven her to the Port Coquitlam farm and had sex with her, Pickton slapped a handcuff on her left hand and stabbed her in the abdomen. She stabbed Pickton in self defense. Later, both she and Pickton were treated at the same hospital, where staff used a key they found in Pickton's pocket to remove the handcuffs from the woman's wrist. The attempted-murder charge against Pickton was stayed on January 27, 1998, because the woman had drug addiction issues and prosecutors believed her too unstable for her testimony to help secure a conviction. The clothes and rubber boots Pickton had been wearing that evening were seized by police and left in an RCMP storage locker for more than seven years. Not until 2004 did lab testing show that the DNA of two missing women were on the items seized from Pickton in 1997.[19]  I mean, I'm sure the police receive lots of bogus reports, but drat. You'd figure 'abducted and stabbed a prostitute, called out by anonymous tips multiple times' would be enough of a pattern to at least look into the matter. And they didn't even charge him for the stabbing.

Also surprising was the apparent lack of sufficient evidence for first-degree murder charges. A quick googling of the gist of Canadian murder law seems to suggest that the standard of evidence was high enough that the jury was not certain that the six cases presented to them met the standard of 'planned and deliberate', 'while committing sexual assault', or 'during kidnapping and forcible confinement'. Therefor they were, by the standard, all second-degree murders. It's just sort of...bothersome that a string of at least six murders, with the gruesome and deliberate details that are known, out of multiple suspected dozens, wasn't enough to build a case beyond a reasonable doubt that the murders were deliberate and planned. E: Oh cool, and then the police released a transcript to news agency where they had failed to censor the real name of an undercover agent in several places. WHOOPS.

GWBBQ posted:I have to wonder if the coyotes in the park had gotten used to being around people from scavenging. Pets in my neighborhood have been killed, people have been approached by aggressive coyotes, and at least one person was attacked. According to our mailman, there's an elderly couple in the area who think they're just cute wild dogs and are feeding them, so they're not afraid of people. In Eastern Coyotes are often a coyote/ wolf hybrid that run a little larger than Western ones. Coywolf - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coywolf Here is a documentary on coywolves from the CBC/PBS that mentions the Taylor Mitchell attack and their spread to urban areas.

On the one hand I feel a bit sorry for coyotes in Vancouver because of all the developments around here pushing them off land perfect for them (and I still find it fun watching coyotes roam around golf courses here) but then again seeing a bunch of missing pets posters in certain neighbourhoods and I feel a bit conflicted about coyotes.

People who move to an area with wild animals and then complain when those animals eat their pets is always funny to me. What did they think would happen to their little puff ball? If you don't want your pet to be eaten then get a Pyrenees or Kangal.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:Reading up on coyotes a little bit the other week, it's pretty unnerving: Kinda wonder if this is happening because so many people "ag" their land for tax purposes. Huge swaths of texas get 10 cows dumped on it and hardly ever check on them, making this a pretty effective strategy i would imagine for taking down cows. If a coyote gets used to doing that, a person asleep isnt really going to scare it i wouldnt think.

Never heard of coyotes killing a grown cow, but if there are problems with coyotes in your field you can always put a donkey in there. Donkeys gently caress coyotes up.

I havent either but im not sure anybody would know if it does occasionally happen. Biting something and then following it seems like a strategy to weaken something big or seperate it from the herd. They will definetly go after large sheep and calfs. I dont know a lot about them, but ive never heard of them attacking this way. Ive worked on donkeys before floating their teeth and they scare the poo poo out of me. Those assholes can nail you from pretty much any angle and they can gently caress right off with that. Donkeys are not the answer to any problem because then you have a donkey to deal with.

The rule at the zoo I worked at for doing work in the coyote pen was to always go in pairs with you watching each others backs. The lion and tiger dens had very thick yellow lines on the floors. Those were the reach lines, if you crossed them, the animal could possibly grab you. In non-deadly news, the otters were always excited when we went into their enclosure and would come watch us. I'm sad the zoo got penguins after I left, those would've been fun.

You know how when someone is just a tremendous fuckstick you call them an rear end? Like "that guy was acting like an rear end"? They weren't talking about your butt, they're talking about donkeys. gently caress donkeys. Llamas are pretty cool though.
