No not as happy as you think. The farther you live away from the farmer, the less welcome you can be.Quote:

That's the point...they are NOT here but guys are wishing they were....just so they can hunt them.Quote:

Your friends farm that is being apparently ravaged in Manitoba notwithstanding,I just see pretty much a “killer bees circa 1975” scenario for us up here in the North.
Having said that, the range maps in Europe sure show that they live pretty far north into Sweden, Finland, and Norway.
If you've read the study I posted in response to your thinking they weren't a problem in Eurasia..now you know the Wild Boar is a significant problem on both continents.
If you understand their potential problem and still not a worry that it could happen here, is very here is short sighted. Even the MNR understands this and have issued a 'shoot on sight'..treat them as vermin.
Why they allow Wild Boar farms in this country, knowing what CAN happen, is insane.
Ok, I didn’t read it. I really am kinda tired of you preaching to me about this. I think you need to relax. Perhaps have a lively debate at one of your Eastern ont breakfasts to get it out of your system.Quote:

As hunters do your part see a feral pig dispatch it....just make sure its not somebodies potbellied pig.
Wild Boar farms in Ontario? That's a new one on me. I thought only domestic swine operations were allowed.Quote:
