Save a pig, eat a liberal

This is a rather unfortunate announcement.

But at least a shred of common sense remains:

Landowners (or agents acting on their behalf) can still protect their property from damage caused by wild pigs, including for the purpose of maintaining biosecurity. A person who captures or kills a pig for protection of property, however, must immediately notify the ministry and provide relevant information.

I just hope the MNR will trap and remove the wild pigs that they become aware of, instead of just throwing their hands up and saying sorry no budget to do this..

As feral and wild boar become more and more prevalent over the coming years,trapping will become overwhelmed as is being seen,now,in western New York state where hunting except for property protection was banned 5 years ago. The net result will be exactly as you describe here in this province. It will come down to lack of manpower and economics......as usual.

They don't even have the manpower to deal with nuisance bears now...
I really can't see wild hogs get out of hand in Ontario in areas where they can be hunted.

That's what's going to be a problem,though,Werner. In Ontario,now,there's no place where they can be hunted.Having said that,I do think there'll be a whole lot of SSS going on. Call the MNR and report them is laughable. That should tell everyone right there that they know there'll be no manpower to enforce it.

Guaranteed every farmer I know will shoot them on sight the second they see crop damage.

Then when MNR cracks down on people hunting them but do nothing else, The poison traps will come out.

Farmers know how hard it is to get compensation for crop damage now as it is. Imagine what it will be like when feral pigs are everywhere and everyone experiences it.

Be lots of pigs laying in the bush when SSS is the only option left.

Bury the carcass, then eat the meat. Waste not want not....

I think the s-s-s for pigs will be more along the line of shoot-skin-smoke than the usual s-s-s.
